The track & field team traveled to Maryland to compete in the Towson Invitational on Saturday.
In the 400-meter dash, senior sprinter Kenya Gaston placed second with a time of 57.3 seconds. Freshman sprinter Madison Beecher placed 13th in the event, which had 34 competitors.
Gaston also competed in the 200, where she earned a fourth-place finish with a time of 25.18.
“Kenya’s a great runner,” coach Elvis Forde said. “But she needs to gain more confidence in her ability as a sprinter, once she can firmly grasp that aspect of this sport, I think we’ll really start to see her progress up the standings.
