YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Shelly Jones recorded one of the best indoor Shot Puts in program history and a number of other athletes authored impressive performances, as the Golden Eagle track & field team finished off their second day at the YSU Mid-Major Invitational hosted by Youngstown State.
 
Jones tied a PR in the Shot Put with a toss of 12.81m, placing sixth in the field and keeping her in sole possession of second place in the program's all-time performance list. Her mark of 12.81m trails only Kari Steuer's program record of 13.07m recorded in 2018. The mark came on her third attempt of the day.
 
Elsewhere in the field, Delaney Beard tied her previous best in the Triple Jump, matching last week's performance in Youngstown with a 10.78m mark. That remains fifth on the program's all-time performance list. That put her at ninth in the field.
 
Freshman Gabby Kutchma came up just a few seconds shy of hitting two PSAC qualifying standards in the distance events, but still enjoyed a solid day. She placed 15^th in the 800m with a time of 2:26.75, less than four seconds from the conference standard, and Kutchma also placed 15^th in the Mile with a 5:27.35. That was even closer, coming in less than three seconds from the standard.
 
Those results of Saturday paired well with the work the Golden Eagles did on Friday night on the first day of the event. Haley Schaller hit a PSAC qualifying standard in the 5000m with a PR of 18:32.35, while Madison Brooks etched her name into the all-time record books at Clarion with an exemplary performance in the Weight Throw.
