SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - The Millersville University women's track and field team capped a busy week of competition at Saturday's Shippensburg-hosted Paul Kaiser Invitational. The 4x100-meter relay team and Sunflower Greene picked up first-place finishes, and Madison Martin hit a NCAA Championships provisional qualifying mark in the hammer throw.

MEET HIGHLIGHTS
• The 4x100 team of Brianna Doherty, Emonie Reviere, Kay Liebl and Destinee Holloman posted a season-best time of 47.57 and placed first in a field of 13 teams that included three other PSAC squads.
• Greene and Madison Martin finished 1-2 in the hammer throw. Greene won with a toss of 186-1, and Martin launched the hammer a career-best 170-11, landing the first NCAA qualifying mark of her career. Aliyah Striver placed fourth with a toss of 159-6, and Stephanie Garner placed fourth with a throw of 154-1.
• Striver improved upon her previous NCAA provisional qualifier with a mark of 47-1 3/4. She was the top collegiate finisher in the field, taking second to Christine Bohan, who was competing unattached.
• Martin was Millersville's top finisher in the discus with a makr of 140-9. Greene placed third at 136-0.
• Holloman placed fifth in the 100-meter dash with a personal-best time of 12.17. Reviere ran a personal-best 12.23 for sixth, and Lenaiya Flowers placed seventh with a personal-best time of 12.28.
• Flowers placed second in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.74.

WHAT COACH ANDY YOUNG HAD TO SAY
• "Madison is very excited. She knew she was going to hit an NCAA mark. It was just a matter of when."
• "Sprints had a good day in the 100. Some strong tail winds definitely helped. We told all athletes that today was a day of work on competing well and to not worry about time, distance and height because the wind was so strong."
• "We have been happy with the results with a number of PRs and season bests despite the conditions. The team is looking more and more ready for the PSAC Championships."

NOTES
• The 4x100 team's time is the fifth-fastest in program history. Doherty has been a part of three of the top six relay times.
• Holloman's 12.17 in the 100 is the fourth-fastest time in program history. Reviere's is the sixth-fastest, and Flowers now ranks ninth.

UP NEXT
• Millersville returns to the track on May 4 at Lock Haven.
