MUNCIE, Ind.-- It was an excellent Friday for the Ball State track & field program at University Track, as the Cardinals claimed one program record, six Mid-American Conference Outdoor Championship automatic qualifying marks, three event victories and 23 career-best performances at the Ball State Challenge.
"Today was exactly what we wanted," head coach Brian Etelman said. "We talked to the team on Wednesday about using this meet to get some momentum going for the rest of April. We are four weeks out from the conference meet, which is good and bad. This weekend was crucial to get some things going and I thought this was one of the better overall meets we have had in a really long time.
