MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- Tech didn't have a large number of athletes competing Saturday at the MTSU Valentines' Invitational, but the three who were there had a large impact on the event.

Sophomore Katie Lowery took first place in the pole vault and broke her own school record, senior Ashley Mayhew claimed first place in the weight throw, and senior Katherine Lynn placed fourth in the high jump.

Lowery cleared the bar with a vault of 10 feet, breaking her previous school mark of 9 feet, 7.25 inches. She also owns the school outdoor record in the pole vault. Lowery was named as the OVC Female Athlete of the Week in field events for last week.

In the weight throw, Mayhew came up a couple inches shy of the school record that she established two weeks ago. Still, her throw of 50 feet, 11 inches was good enough to place first Saturday.

Lynn, who also owns the school record in the high jump, was fourth in that event Saturday when she cleared 5 feet, 4.25 inches.

The Golden Eagles take a week off to prepare for the Ohio Valley Conference Indoor Championships in Charleston, Ill., Feb. 25-26.
