Raleigh, N.C. – The Bowling Green State University outdoor track and field team opened the spring season with strong performances Friday at the Raleigh Relays, hosted by North Carolina State. Rachel Walny and Makenzie Wheat both hit Mid-American Conference automatic qualifying marks with their performances.
While Walny and Wheat paced the team throughout the day, it was Rebecca Schott who set the tone with the squad's first race of the day. In the 5000, the redshirt junior trimmed 19 seconds off her personal best with a time of 16:59.51. That time places her seventh all-time at BGSU.
