The Utah track & field team closed out their weekend of competition down in Provo at the Robison Invitational.
PROVO, Utah – The Utah track & field team wrapped up its weekend down at the Robison Invitational on Saturday with yet another runner making a move in the all-time record book.
Karli Branch got the Utes going on Saturday in the 3000m steeplechase with a second-place finish after crossing the finish line at 10:53.30 (aa) to move up one spot to No. 5 on the all-time list and set another PR. Over in the 800m run Maren Busath recorded a time of 2:25.24 (aa) to take sixth in her heat.
Megan Rose ran the fastest 200m dash among the Utes competing in the event with a mark of 25.53 (aa) to take third in her heat while Kelise Davis was the next fastest Utah runner crossing at 25.62 (aa). Malia Overton barely surpassed her PR time in the 200m event, posting a time of 25.73 (aa) – which was .02 faster than her previous personal best – while Chloe Shewell closed things out in the event for Utah with a 26.78 (aa).
The Women of Utah will now have a quick turnaround as it heads back to SLC and get ready for the world-famous Drake Relays (April 26-29).
