Track team performs well in Gina Relays

In unscored meets, other measures become more important when deciding how well a team peformed. In those cases, effort and orders of finish emerge as measuring sticks for success.

By these measures, BG performed well among some strong competition this weekend at the Gina Relays in Hillsdale, Mich.

Led by the three relay teams, the Falcons recorded 15 finishes in the top 10. The relay teams tallied four top-five finishes with a first-place effort in the 4×800 meter relay.

“I was pleased with the efforts I saw this weekend,” said coach Cami Wells. “I was extremely pleased by the way the relay teams raced this weekend. It really shows what the team is capable of achieving when they all work together.”

After a strong past two weeks on the track, which included a nomination for conference athlete of the week, Autumn Dettmann continued to perform at a high level this weekend. She set a season-best mark of 2:19:10 in the 800 meter run.

Sabrina Forstein continued her solid season by setting an outdoor personal best in the pole vault with a mark of 3.55 meters on her way to landing a ninth-place finish.

Dettmann and Forstein accounted for two of 11 personal bests set by Falcons this weekend.

The Falcons now have just two weekends left to compete before the Mid-American Conference Championships.

All things considered, Wells believes the team is progressing nicely and can record a positive finish at the MAC Championships.

“I felt the team competed well against some quality competition. I am confident that the team will be at their best at the MAC meet in three weeks,” she said. “Solid progress has been made all season, and we are healthy and improving week to week.”
