Last Time Out:
The Cardinals had multiple outstanding performances last weekend at the Knights Invitational in Orlando, Florida. Kenli Nettles was among the team’s top performers after her incredible race in the 400-meter hurdles. Shaving nearly three seconds off her time, Nettles finished second overall with a PR of 58.96, moving her into the third fastest in Ball State history.
Later in the day, Ball State’s 4×100-meter relay team of Moriah Johnson, Alana Springer, Jenna Oriani and Kylee Marshall also ran a record-book race with a season-best finish of 44.99. The team landed second overall and now holds the program’s fourth fastest 4×100 race.
Individually, Oriani ran very well in the 400-meter dash. With a finish of 54.16, Oriani moved up from the fifth fastest time in the record books to the fourth fastest time and was fourth overall in her field. Close behind her was Emma Potter who finished sixth overall in a PR time of 54.25, adding her name to the record book as well.

Following this weekend, the Cardinals will look to bring home a ring at the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Outdoor Championships which will be held in Athens, Ohio on May 15-17.
