ST. LOUIS, MO. – The Eutectic men's and women's track and field teams competed in two separate meets hosted by Saint Louis University over the weekend: the SLU Speed/Power Festival on Friday and the Billiken Invite on Saturday. Both meets were non-scoring and featured athletes competing from all levels, including a plethora of NCAA Division I teams. Members of the UHSP teams broke five UHSP records, while freshman sprinter Leah Macon-Ford earned two first-place finishes in the 100m (winning the event both days) and clocked a provisional national qualification time.  

NEW SCHOOL RECORDS:

  • After breaking the school record and winning the 100m Dash on Friday, Leah Macon-Ford clocked the seventh-fastest time so far in the NAIA for the 100m Dash on Saturday, notching provisional national qualification and another first-place finish. Macon-Ford ran 11.96 on Friday to break her record of 12.07 seconds set last weekend and beat out 18 other competitors in the event. On Saturday, she returned to the track and improved on that time with a first-place finish (of 34) and a new record-time of 11.84.
  • Macon-Ford also obliterated the school record by more than a second in the 200m Dash with a 12th-place finish (of 48) on Saturday and a time of 26.03. The previous record was 27.34 set in 2013.
  • Macon-Ford joined Mariah Scott, Arianna Buduan, and Taylor Washington to set a new school record in the 4x100m Relay. Their time of 50.34 took fifth-place on Friday and broke the record of 51.07 set in 2023 by the team of Scott, Buduan, Washington, and A. Lawrence.
  • Sophomore Elizabeth Fritzler took second place in the women's shot put on Friday, beating out 23 throwers in the event with a toss of 12.05m (39'6.5"). The mark broke her own school record set last season of 11.66m (38'02.25"). She returned on Saturday to earn a top-10 finish in the discus throw (10th of 24) at 35.16m (115'04").
  • Freshman Kristofer St. Clair improved his own school record set last week in the men's discus throw by 1.5 feet on Saturday. His mark of 39.63 (130'00") was good enough for seventh-place of 31 throwers at the meet. St. Clair also had a top-10 finish in the shot put on Friday, finishing 10th (of 15) at 11.59m (38'.025").

INDIVIDUAL TOP-10 FINISHES:

  • Junior Taylor Washington tied for fourth-place (of 13) in the women's high jump on Friday, clearing 1.45m (4'09"). On Saturday, Washington ran a season-best time of 15.73 to finish 12th (of 26) in the 100m Hurdles.
