The Eagles will play host to their only home meet of the season this weekend
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University women's track and field team returns to Ypsilanti for their only home meet of the year, as the team will host the EMU Triangular, Saturday, Jan. 23. In addition to the Eagles, Central Michigan and Oakland will also be participating in the event.
Last weekend, the Green and White traveled to Allendale, Mich. for the Eubanks Open. Jan. 15. There, the distance group had a particularly strong day, posting a number of event wins which helped the team to a first-place finish with a total of 135.5 points in the scored meet. Senior Aaliyah McKinney (South Bend, Ind. - John Adams) turned in a solid mark in the 60m, finishing with a time of 7.57 to place second. Sophomores Jenna Wyns (Londerzeel, Belgium - Sportschol KA2) and Rebekah Branham (Circleville, Ohio - Circleville) took home first and second in the 800m with times of 2:12.14 and 2:15.00, respectively. Finally, the team dominated in the mile, as senior Sofie Gallein (Gits, Belgium - University of Leuven) and junior Alsu Bogdanova (Kazan, Russia - Lyceum #83) also took home the top two spots. Gallein's time of 4:48.69 improved her seventh-place all time mark, while Bogdanova now sits in ninth in program history with a time of 4:51.05.
