The distance medley relay set a Lewis Fieldhouse record, but unfortunately so did North Park who won the event. DePaul's squad ran a 12:42.56, its best of the year, but was still six seconds behind North Park's 12:36.81
Katie Sullivan nabbed another top three finish, her fifth this season, taking third in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 1 ¼ inches.
The DePaul throwers provided valuable team points with their efforts in the shot put and 20-pound weight throw. Montia Gardner was third in the shot with a toss of 39-10 and placed second in the weight throw recording a distance of 50-8 ¾. Sue Stoffel claimed third and Meghan Greely landed fourth in the weight throw. Stoffel launched a throw of 45-10 ½, while Greely was close behind with a 45-10.
The team will travel Houston next weekend for the Conference USA Championships.
