SPOKANE, WA. – Seniors Madigan Kelly and Camille Ussher highlighted the final day of the Whitworth Indoor Invitational for LC State Women’s Track and Field. Both hit national standards with Kelly doing so in the 60m hurdles and Ussher in the 800m.
“Overall, pretty good weekend with lots of season bests,” coach Mike Collins said. “Last time I counted, I think we had at least 24 PRs, and from a coaching standpoint, I don’t know how you can really complain about that. The timing couldn’t be better either as we approach the last meet of the season in order to try to qualify for indoor nationals. Camille had a really nice run today in the 800m and she also put in a super effort in our 4x400m relay today when I asked her to step up for that.”
Kelly clocked a season-best time of 8.68 in the prelims of the 60m hurdles to better her time in the NAIA ranks. Her B standard is the eighth-best in the NAIA this season and was third in the prelim race. She finished fourth in the final (8.70), and Olivia Yetter was 28th in the prelim (10.90). Kelly also led the Warriors in the 60m dash where she placed 11th (7.90) with Claire Dooley in 20th (8.05) and Yetter was 48th (8.91)…
