Hodges followed it up with a fourth-place performance in the 200-meter featuring 26 sprinters. She locked down a lightning-quick time of 24.84 seconds. Rounding out the weekend, she kicked off the action for Tech's 4x400-meter relay team on its way to a first-place showing of 3:29.02, the second-fasted mark in the OVC this season.
