EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – The Tennessee Tech track and field team started the Ohio Valley Conference Outdoor Championship meet on Friday, and were guided by two seniors.
Senior Rebecca Cline, who has set personal-record after personal-record this outdoor season, finally capped off her senior campaign by breaking a seven-year-old school record in the 3,000-Meter Steeplechase run. Cline ran an impressive time of 11:20.03, eclipsing the previous record of 11:23.52 by Alathea Thompson on April 21, 2006. Cline's time also helped her place seventh in the final meet of the year, earning two points for the Golden Eagles.
Senior Lacy Yslas also highlighted day one of the OVC Outdoor Championship meet, finished sixth in the discus with a toss of 136-02, earning three points for the Golden Eagles. Yslas finished just shy of the top-scoring eight athletes in the javelin, finishing in ninth with a throw of 116-00.
The Golden Eagles return to action to close out the 2014 Outdoor Track and Field season Saturday. Field events start at 1 p.m. CT and running events will begin at 2:05 p.m. The meet will be streamed in its entirety on the OVC Digital Network.
