The Eagles began Friday at the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas, competing in the 4x100m relay, 100m Hurdles, 100m, and 4x400m relay. EMU's 4x100m relay squad of senior Jessica Harris (Slidell, La.-Slidell) and juniors Micah Johnston (Toledo, Ohio-Toledo Christian), Brittni Mason (Richmond Heights, Ohio-West Geauga), and Kolby Ganther (Park City, Kan.-Northeast Magnet) opened the Eagles' day with a 45.73 preliminary heat effort in the event, placing eighth overall and earning a spot in tomorrow morning's finals. Harris followed her leg of the relay with a tied-for-36th-place effort in the 100m, crossing the finish line in 11.83 seconds. Additionally, running in the 100m was fellow 4x100 relay member Mason, who recorded a career-best run of 11.92 in the event, good for 52nd overall.
Freshman Alysse Marie Wade (Mansfield, Ohio-St. Peters) and redshirt senior Allyson Goff (White Lake, Mich.-Walled Lake Northern (Georgia State)) earned top-50 finishes in the 100m Hurdles at the Relays, finishing just .02 seconds apart, with times of 14.18 and 14.20, respectively. The Eagles closed out their performance Friday at the Texas Relays with a 16th-place finish in the 4x400m Relay, as freshmen Tiffany Cernej-Garcia (Ann Arbor, Mich.-Pioneer) and Mair Edwards (Basingstoke, England-The Costello School), sophomore Keypathwa Gibson (Toledo, Ohio-Roy C. Start), and Johnston finished the 1600m effort in 3:47.27, besting squads from the University of Akron and Texas State University.
EMU then turned its sight to the Bobcat Invitational in San Marcos, Texas, where freshman Angel Gazaway (Cincinnati, Ohio-Princeton) grabbed the Eagles' top finish of the day with a third-place effort in the 400m Hurdles. The Cincinnati, Ohio native cleared the obstacles in just 1:02.17, besting her previous career-best time of 1:05.13 by almost three seconds. Additionally, freshmen Morgan Iverson (Hoschton, Ga.-Mill Creek) and Cernej-Garcia gathered top collegiate performances in the 400m Hurdles, finishing eighth and 21st overall with times of 1:03.32 and 1:06.27, respectively.
