Miami University men and women’s track and field split the team this weekend to compete in two meets, the Buckeye Tune-Up and the Alex Wilson Invitational.

The majority of the RedHawks competed at the Buckeye Tune-Up in Columbus, Ohio, where the Miami women finished fourth overall, thanks to strong performances from sophomore Alesha Vovk, senior Kathie Wollney and junior Alexus Jimson-Miller.

Vovk won the 1600-meter run with a 4:56.11 time, a new personal best.

“I felt really good during the race, my legs felt smooth and strong,” Vovk said.
