TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Victoria Coombe (Centennial, Colo.) turned in a huge personal best and the third-fastest 400-meter hurdle time in school history to lead the Drake University track & field teams Saturday at the Missouri Valley Conference Track & Field Championship.
Coombe clocked a time of 59.87 to win her preliminary heat of the event easily and qualify for Sunday's final. She became just the third Bulldog to break the 1-minute barrier in the event. Her success in the event was replicated by the Drake men in the event as three Bulldogs advanced to Sunday's 400-meter hurdles finals.
