Huston Wins Mile On Friday At Holiday Inn Invitational

LINCOLN, Neb. - The Drake University track and field teams resumed their indoor season Friday evening at the Holiday Inn Invitational in Lincoln, Neb., with Emma Huston (Des Moines, Iowa) winning the mile.

Huston personal best time of 4:55.69 bested the field by nearly six seconds and is the sixth-fastest time in school history. Huston overcame a tough start and slow pace early in the race to pull away from the pack with 500 meters left.

"Emma started her season off great winning the mile and separated herself from the field," said Drake head coach Natasha Kaiser-Brown.
