The sprint standout from Chicago took fourth place in the premier 60 meter dash, sixth place in the premier 200 meter dash, and was a part of the premier 4x400 that took seventh at the meet.

2. MOVING INTO THE TOP-10: UW had a trio of program top-10 marks last week in Iowa City. Meagan Blair moved into the top-10 in the long jump with a PR of 19 feet, 9 ½ inches. Bianca Stubler also cracked the top-10 in the 400 meters with an indoor personal best of 56.03 while the quartet of Gabrielle DesRosiers, Ebony McClendon, Morgan Parzych and Stubler earned a 4x400 time of 3:45.13.

Parzych took fourth in the 600 meter dash, ninth in the 400 meter dash, and competed in the premier 4x400 meter relay that took seventh.

4. MULTI TIME: Phoebe Edwards, Jordan Hirsbrunner and Kelsey Sullivan will compete in the pentathlon at the Indiana Relays, marking the first time that the Badgers will partake in the pentathlon this year.
