EMU is coming off a split weekend of competition at the Iowa State Classic, Feb. 8, and the Kent State Doug Raymond National Qualifier, Feb. 9. Senior Sydney Meyers (Zionsville, Ind.-Zionsville Community) finished seventh in the 3000m Invitational at the Iowa State Classic by posting a career-best time of 9:19.23, which landed her fifth all-time in the EMU record books.

Senior captain Jessica Harris (Slidell, La.-Slidell) and sophomore Kadian Clarke (Kingston, Jamaica- Immaculate Conception) led the Eagles in the Kent State Doug Raymond National Qualifier.
