Lancaster, Pa. - After more than a one-month break, the Millersville indoor track and field team returned to action Saturday at Franklin & Marshall's Coach I Open. Millersville athletes took first place in six events.

MEET HIGHLIGHTS
• The 4x400-meter relay team of Lenaiya Flowers, Clara Forney, Emonie Reviere and Gabriela Karch posted a 4:03.69--the ninth-fastest time in program history--and won the event by nearly 17 seconds.
• Destinee Holloman led four Marauders in the top six in the 60-meter dash. She posted an 8.03 in the finals and was followed by Karch's 8.08, Forney's 8.15 and Brianna Doherty's 8.25. Karch's time was a season-best and a PSAC Championships qualifier.
• Flowers took first place in the 200-meter dash with a time of 26.96, besting Lehman's Victory Ike, who ran a 27.26.
• Doherty and Holloman finished two-three in the long jump. Doherty's season best of 17-6 was just 2 1/4 inches behind the winner and improved her PSAC Championships qualifying mark. Holloman's 16-7 3/4 was just an inch shy of a PSAC Championships qualifier.
• Freshman Patrisha Davis won the triple jump with a leap of 33-5 3/4, posting one of the top 20 jumps in the PSAC this season.
• Millersville dominated the throwing events with Sunflower Greene sweeping the shot put and weight throw. Greene's 51-4 1/4 topped teammate Aliyah Striver's 43-4 1/4 in the shot put. Reunisha Williams hit 38-0 to place third, and Madison Martin's 37-9 1/4 was good for fourth.
• Millersville took four of the top five spots in the weight throw. Greene's 60-10 1/2 topped Martin's 51-7 3/4. Striver placed fourth at 46-6 1/4, and Stephanie Garner took fifth at 44-4 1/4.

COACH ANDY YOUNG QUOTES
• "We are in a heavy training week so this meet was to see where we were at physically. We definitely were trying to jump start th team after break and knock off some rust so to speak."
• "Lenaiya Flowers had a nice meet with the 200 and 4x400. It is good to see that group run fast when they weren't at their best. That group is set up to do well this season."
• "Our throwers were very strong after one of the heavy lifting weeks they had. I am very excited for that group too."

NOTES
• Millersville throwers hold four of the PSAC's top seven marks in the shot put and four of the top nine marks in the weight throw.
• Millersville athletes have totaled 10 event wins in this season's two meets. Greene has won the shot put and weight throw in both meets. Holloman has won the 60 twice, and Flowers has won the 200 twice.

UP NEXT
• Millersville travels to Staten Island, N.Y., for the NYC Gotham Cup on Jan. 18.
