Hillsdale, Mich. - The University of Toledo women's track and field team finished competition at the Hillsdale GINA Relays on Saturday after tallying one MAC automatic qualifying mark, four top-10 finishes, and two personal-bests on Saturday, bringing their total to three MAC automatic qualifying marks, 22 top-10 finishes, and 13 personal-bests on the weekend.
 
"We didn't have a lot of people compete today, but the results were strong," said head coach Linh Nguyen. "The throwers have had a really strong year and (senior) Katie Dewey continues to raise the level of competition. She did that again today in the discus and looks to have put herself into the NCAA prelims, just like she did with the shot put yesterday. I think we're in a very good place as a team going into the championship part of our season." 
 
Dewey took first in the discus event with a personal-best and MAC automatic qualifying throw of 49.92m. Dewey also took first in the shot put on Friday with a personal-best and MAC qualifying mark of 15.50m. Sophomore Chloee Kleespies landed third (41.82m) and freshman Lauren Johnson took seventh (40.68m) in the discus. In the javelin event, junior Kallie Strauss took eighth (30.31m) and Johnson posted a mark of 28.01m to place 11th.
