Last Time Out
The Redhawks competed at three different meets. The throwers traveled to Iowa for the Kip Janvrin Open and saw one event winner (
Ava Dumke in the javelin) along with eight other top five finishers.
Anna Thomason led a group of multis at the Jim Freeman/Clark Wood Open where she set a new PR in the heptathlon reaching 5406 points, just off a school record.

The Redhawks are scattered around the OVC charts halfway through the outdoor season. The SEMO women have eight athletes at the top of the charts.
