Several Eagles on both the men’s and women’s sides earned top finishes and set new personal bests at the second weekend of the Graceland Indoor Winter Series on Friday.
CMU dominated the women’s 55-meter dash. Kailey Johnson, Fayette native Jada Gaines, and Antoinette Flowers swept the event. Johnson won with a time of 7.40 seconds. Johnson also took home first place in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 8.87 seconds.

The women’s 4x400-meter relay team posted a first-place finish. Johnson, Mason Fitzgerald, Weiseman, and Hale won the event in 4:15.77. Sophomore Katelyn Weber and freshman Sarah Johnson placed first and third, respectively, in the long jump with final marks of 5.17 and 4.83 meters.
Freshman Karli Wolfe earned a second-place finish in the shot put with a new personal best of 10.83 meters.
Freshman sprinter Brennan Moots placed second in the men’s 55-meter hurdles in 8.28 seconds, just four-tenths of a second behind the first-place finisher. Nehemiah Colyer took home the top spot in the 400-meter dash while fellow teammate Brock Jackson placed third.
In the 600-meter run, Jack Schiffhauer placed third in a time of 1:28.97 and Kaleb Bramman earned the top spot in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:13.86.

Parker Yager, Robert Jerrick, and Hayden Hackman swept the pole vault, as Yager took home the top spot with a final jump of 4.20 meters.
Harrisburg native Taylor Bottomley once again broke his own school record in the shot put with a throw of 16.82 meters, good enough for a first-place finish and more than three meters longer than the next longest toss. He also won the weight throw with a final toss of 18.14 meters.
Both programs will compete in the Herschel Neil Invite hosted by Northwest Missouri State University Saturday, Jan. 30 in Maryville, Missouri.
