CHICAGO -- The Wisconsin women's track team won three events at the Wisconsin Midwest Invitational at Gately Indoor Track on Saturday. The Badgers were up against Big Ten opponents, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio State, and Purdue.

Stubler scores in two events

Senior Bianca Stubler claimed her first win of the season, taking the 600 meters in 1 minute, 31.38 seconds. Her time ranks her third on the Big Ten performance list this season. Teammate Danielle Bellino finished fourth in the 600 meters, running a personal best of 1:32.30, which ranks eighth in the conference.

Stubler also placed third in the 300 meters, running a personal best of 38.97.
