3/31/2023 8:40:00 PM

LANSING, Mich. – Cold, rain, and Michigan weather was what Cornerstone track & field had to battle at the MSU Spartan Invite on Friday afternoon, but it did not stop CU from seeing multiple solid performances, including freshman Katelynn Dix. Dix earned two program top 10 marks on the day to highlight a few strong performances as the early outdoor season continued. The Golden Eagles will now have some training time until after Easter when they split the team in Indiana and on the east side of the state for two upcoming events. 
 
Men's Results:
Throwers, jumpers, and pole vaulters traveled to Bethel University in Indiana on Wednesday to start competition for the week. In men's high jump, Brad Holbrook finished in first with a jump of 1.85 to win the meet. On the other side of the pit, Josh DeVries won pole vault with a jump of 4.60.  
 
In the men's disc throw, Ryan Shinabery started the week with a PR of 41.60m. Just two days later at Michigan State University, he recorded a new PR in discus with a throw of 43.90m to move to fifth all-time. 
 
To highlight the opening of the competition at Michigan State, Patrick Adams recorded a new PR of 15.17 in the 100m hurdles which places him 4th all-time. Phoenix Velthouse followed closely behind with his own PR and finish of 15.29 to place him 5th all-time. 
 
Alex Schmidt clocked an 11.07 PR in the 100m dash and now finds himself in a three-way tie for 7th place. Seth Stoltz also finished with a huge PR of 22.29 in the men's open 200m dash, falling just outside of the all-time outdoor list. 
 
Women's Results:
In women's throws, Jenna Brueker and Claire Meacham started off their strong week at Bethel's Blue and Gray Classic where both recorded top ten PRs. Jenna Brueker moved to 7th place with a PR of 44.38m and Claire Meacham joined the list with her debut of 40.33m. Claire recorded her second PR with a discus throw of 36.70m (120' 5") to place her at 6th on the all-time list. 
 
At Michigan State, Katelynn Dix found her way onto two top ten lists in a single day. In the women's 100m dash, she finished first in her heat with a time of 12.66 to place her at eighth place on the top ten list. In her second event, the women's 200m dash, Dix went 26.03 to finish third at the meet and sneak her way into the 10th spot overall. 
 
Sarah Genzink went 59.41 in the women's open 400m to find herself placing 4th overall at the meet and move her way to the 8th spot on the top ten list. 
 
Morgan Vargo also tied an outdoor PR in the long jump of 5.65m at MSU to stay fifth all-time on CU's outdoor list. 

What's Next?
Cornerstone will split action after Easter Break between the Indiana State Gibson Invite and the Siena Heights Don Kleinow Memorial Invite.
