WKU track and field capitalizes at Hilltopper Relays

Run of the Hill

Runners fly high as they leap the water obstacle on the women's 3000m steeple chase at the Hilltopper Relays in Bowling Green, Ky. on April 9. They must complete eight laps of the track, overcoming multiple hurdles and the water trap like in some horse races.

The WKU track and field team could only host one meet at home this season, and it took advantage of that opportunity this past weekend.

The Hilltopper Relays, which began on Friday and concluded on Saturday, saw the host team win nine events en route to an overall solid performance.
