RICHMOND, Ky. – Freshman
Promise Cross dominated the field at the Rick Erdmann Twilight on Friday with first-place finishes in the long jump (5.41m) and 100m hurdles (14.99). Cross' victories were two of five first-place finishes and 14 personal-best performances for the Rockets on the day, placing her in the top 20 in both events in the Mid-American Conference with only one meet remaining for her before the MAC Championships (May 7-8).
Other first-place performances came from junior
Riley Kwiatkowski in the 1500m with a personal-best time of 4:48.83. Senior
Yana Khabina leaped her way into first in the 400m hurdles with a time of 1:01.66, just slightly off her time of 1:00.57 at Ole Miss last weekend.
"Promise showed great form today in the 100m hurdles and long jump", said Associate Head Coach
Adrian Ghioroaie. "She also competed in the 200m race as preparation for the multi-events and finished with a personal best in all three events.
Yana Khabina continued her quest to qualify for the NCAA Prelims by finishing first in the 400m. With a few small changes, she will be able to get the time we are looking for from her."
The Toledo men's cross country team competed in the 5000m, with freshman
Ben Towler taking first with a personal-best time of 15:02.97, followed closely behind by freshman
Caleb Newlon (third/15:14.15) and sophomore
Jonathan Hrivnak (fifth /15:27.89).
The Rockets will conclude their day with the 3000m steeplechase at 10:00 p.m. tonight and will then return for Day Two of the meet with field events beginning at 6:00 p.m., followed by running events, beginning at 6:40 p.m. with the 1500m invitational.
