RedHawks place fourth at Buckeye Tune-Up
By Ben Blanchard, For The Miami Student
Miami University men and women’s track and field split the team this weekend to compete in two meets, the Buckeye Tune-Up and the Alex Wilson Invitational.
The majority of the RedHawks competed at the Buckeye Tune-Up in Columbus, Ohio, where the Miami women finished fourth overall, thanks to strong performances from sophomore Alesha Vovk, senior Kathie Wollney and junior Alexus Jimson-Miller.
Vovk won the 1600-meter run with a 4:56.11 time, a new personal best.
“I felt really good during the race, my legs felt smooth and strong,” Vovk said. “I just wanted to qualify for conference next weekend, but winning the race was definitely a great bonus.”
