INDIANA, Pa. (April 17) – Members of the Waynesburg University track & field team traveled to Indiana University of Pa. on Saturday to take part in the Ed Fry invitational.

Baker placed second in the triple jump with a distance of 10.87 meters (35' 8”), while Jones took third in the javelin with a heave of 41.78 meters (137' 1”), which provisionally qualified her for nationals. Both efforts were the top distances put up by Division III athletes. Sophomore Carly Schubert put forth an eighth-place effort in the shot put (11.73 meters, 38' 6”), which qualified her for the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championships.
