Track & Field Claims 10th Straight BSU Quad Meet Title

MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Western Michigan track and field team made with 10-straight after winning the Ball State Quad Meet for the 10th time in a row at Ball State University on Friday night.

The Broncos racked up seven event titles and 165 total points to best second-place Ball State (120.50), Northern Illinois (115.50) and Miami (47).

"We had some good performances today and that's what you're looking for at a meet like this," said head coach Kelly Lycan." We're trying to get some momentum going into the MAC Championship and I think we did that."

Western Michigan swept the throwing events, taking first in both the shot put and the weight throw. Andrea Hiler took first in the shot put with a distance of 15.22m (49-11.25) and had three throws over 15 meters. Hiler also scored in the weight throw, taking third place at 17.76m (58-3.25). Fellow senior Stephanie Negrete claimed the weight throw title after throwing 18.02m (59-1.50).

"Stephanie is knocking on that big 60 foot door and it's a really good position when that going into a big meet because it keeps you hungry," Lycan added. "Andrea is in the same boat. She had four throws over 15 meters in the shot and that's some high-level consistency."

WMU took first and second in the 200 meter dash with Andrea Arnold running a time of 25.04 seconds to take the title. Rebecca Hall, who also finished third in the 60 meter dash, took second with a time of 25.13.

Junior Alexis Hull continued her quality season after winning the 400 meter dash with a time of 57 seconds flat. In the 800 meter run senior Ariel Arnold set a new personal-best time after taking second place at 2:17.56.

Senior Alex Forsythe won the mile run with a time of 5:11.70 and freshman Daya Wagh took third to earn WMU 15 points in the event. Junior Ann Marie Arseneau also picked up points in the 3,000 meter run after taking third with a time of 10:24.94.

Junior Kathryn Pickett took first in the long jump with a distance of 5.70m (18-8.50), while senior Chiara Allen claimed the triple jump title with a distance of 11.91m (39-1).

The Broncos head to Kent State University on Thursday for the 2014 Mid-American Conference Indoor Championships.
