CHICAGO - The 2022 BIG EAST Indoor Track & Field Championships jump started at Gately Indoor in Chicago on Friday. The day was highlighted by a new program-best in the women's DMR as the Blue Demons fought to a second-place finish. The quartet of Nina Amicon, Sonja Nagle, Alexa Havon and Olivia Borowiak clocked an 11:27.76.

"We had a really great day of big performances," said head coach David Dopek. "With the women's DMR, our field events and all of the qualifying action, I'm very pleased with how we performed. It's going to be very exciting heading into tomorrow in a great position for some big performances."

With multiple field events wrapping up in Friday's action, DePaul came home with a podium finish in the men's weight throw and the women's long jump.
