Rogers Wins 5,000 Meters To Open The Jim Duncan Invitational

The Drake University men's and women's track and field teams opened up their outdoor season in rainy conditions Friday afternoon for the first day of the annual Jim Duncan Invitational at Drake Stadium.

Despite the inclement weather, the Bulldogs still posted strong performances across the board during Friday's brief schedule.

Olivia Rogers won the women's 5,000 meters for the Bulldogs in 17:29.88 to notch a personal best by nearly two minutes with a late, strong kick. She was joined by three other Bulldogs in the top-five to help Drake score eight points in the event.
