STARKVILLE - Battling the weather all weekend, UAB Track & Field competed in the Maroon and White Tune Up in Starkville, Mississippi hosted by Mississippi State. The team endured a three hour weather delay as heavy thunderstorms moved through the Starkville area on Friday.

In the high jump, Hope Foster and Olivia Beard each jumped 1.60m. This is the third consecutive meet Beard has reached this mark, and the third straight meet Foster has jumped at least 1.60m.

Regina Harris clocked a time of 57.51 in the 400m, just missing her PR by .3 seconds.

Mya McDanal placed third in the Javelin Throw. The senior finished with a mark of 43.52m, just missing her PR by .11 meters.

For the second consecutive week, Noelle Hambrick finished with a mark of 3.70m in the Pole Vault. Hambrick placed second in the event this weekend. Victoria Freeland came in at 3.55m.

Birthe Franck-Petersen narrowly missed her PR/school record in the Shot Put. The senior finished with a mark of 13.83m, missing her PR by .03 meters.

The Blazers return to action in two weeks as the Green and Gold compete in the American Conference Outdoor Championships hosted by Charlotte. All meet schedules, meet information, and heat sheets will be posted at a later time.
