AUSTIN, Texas – Ali Meister of the UAB women's track & field team wrapped up the first day of competition in the Heptathlon at the prestigious Texas Relays. The junior is currently in 17th place among collegiate competitors with a total score of 2945.
"Day one of the Heptathlon went well," said UAB assistant coach Reava Potter. "I saw some really good things out of her today that will set her up for a great day two."
The day began with the 100 Meter Hurdles where Meister finished in a time of 14.45, the fifth-fastest mark in her career. She followed with a 1.55 meter High Jump and notched a 10.04-meter throw on her first toss in the Shot Put.
Meister won the first heat of the 200 Meter Dash to complete the day. She recorded a time of 25.75, a new personal-best, while besting six other competitors in the heat.
The day wraps up with the final three events tomorrow starting at 11:00 a.m. with the Long Jump. The Javelin Throw and 800 Meter Run follow that. The Longhorn Network will be providing live coverage of the event on ESPN3 where available.
