Young Wins MVC Title On Final Day Of the MVC Track & Field Championship

WICHITA, Kan. – Drake University junior Mary Young (Urbandale) became the latest Drake hurdler to win a Missouri Valley Conference title with a first-place finish in the women's 100-meter hurdles Saturday during the final day of the MVC Track & Field Championship.

Young bested the field with wind-aided time of 13.14 that would easily better her previous school record if not for the tailwind over the allowable limit. Her title marked the third time in the last seven years that a Bulldog has won the event as Young continues the legacy established by Sarah Yeager and Marissa Smith.
