INDIANAPOLIS - Led by a record-smashing performance by the distance medley relay group, the Marian women's track and field team had a successful weekend competing at both the Crossroads of America Invite, hosted at the Fall Creek Pavilion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, and the George Glass Invite, hosted at Taylor University. 

Marian had eight athletes compete on Friday night in Indianapolis, with the DMR efforts by Nora Steele, Holli Reuter, Gracie Fields, and Katie Woods breaking the school record en route to setting the top time in the NAIA. The relay group hit a time of 11:55.71, shattering the former school record set at Grand Valley State in 2016 by a commanding 28 seconds. The previous relay team featured Kiersten Schrope, Olivia Koehl, Ann Kuntz, and Courtney Crane. 

On Saturday Marian had athletes compete at both the Crossroads of America Invite and the George Glass Invite. The majority of the team competed at the George Glass Invite, with Katie Woods headlining the efforts north of campus with her win and NAIA A standard in the 1000m. Woods broke her own school record by three seconds, and with the converted time from a flat to banked track gives her the top time in the NAIA in the event. The Knights earned their second relay standard of the weekend with the women's 4x400m relay at the Crossroads of America Invite, as the twins Hanna and Holli Reuter, along with Emma Edwards and Maya Mundy clocked a 3:58.04 time to score the B standard mark. 

Summer Rempe also joined Woods with a standard mark in the 1000m, hitting a B standard time for the second time this season. Delaney Teachnor would record a B standard mark in the pole vault to add to the weekend's successes.
