WARRENSBURG, Mo. -- The SBU women’s track team travelled to Warrensburg on Thursday for the University of Central Missouri Relays. 

 

SBU came out with eight top five finishes and two first place finishes. Coach McElhaney commented:  “The women ran very well today as a whole, some of them did not have the races they expected but they still gave 100% and that is all we ask.” 

 

The women set one school record and several other personal career bests.

 

Coach McElhaney, “On the distance side we had three of the ladies run 20-30 second improvements from two weeks ago, I was very impressed with their performances.”  When asked about their overall performan, McElhaney replied, “It is very hard to come from a 300 meter track and run on this track that is less than 200 meters.  The turns are much tighter and it takes a couple races to get use to.  I am proud of the effort and the way the ladies came together as a team today.”

 

The women continue next week at Missouri Southern.

 

The men travel to Warrensburg today to compete in the UCM Relays.
