Maryland’s track and field teams successfully concluded its competition at the Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championship Meet in Minneapolis on Sunday.
“Today was a strong finish to the championships with podium performances and an overall team effort,” head coach Andrew Valmon said in a release Sunday. “Now we will continue to charge forward with several individuals moving to NCAA preliminary rounds.”
The women’s side was led by the 4x100 team of freshman Jada Ellis, junior Kattiana Ealy-Pulido, junior Ariana Ealy-Pulido and senior Jaida Smith, which jolted to a 45.76-second finish. The time earned eighth place and is now the fourth-fastest in program history for this event.
