First-year vaulter Cindy Roberson continued her impressive indoor campaign with a third-place finish in the pole vault, recording another seasonal and indoor best of 10-1.5.
Senior Delicia Haynes equaled her season best in the triple jump with a mark of 25-8.5 to earn a seventh-place finish.

Second-year runner Alicia Cavender finished seventh in the mile run and recorded a seasonal-best 5:08.45 in the effort.
On the men's side, sophomore Stanley Tanyhill finished third in the triple jump, senior Brian McDonald recorded a fourth-place finish in the 60m dash and senior Joe Mondo finished seventh in the 3,000m run with a time of 8:47.60.
"We continue to grow as a team," said U of L head coach Gene Weis. "Shola has had a good indoor season overall, but we'll see better before it's all over. Our distance people are also improving. A lot of our athletes, particularly our jumpers, are competing very leg weary right now, they've shown us better. Overall, it wasn't a bad meet for us, but barring injuries, we expect to be improved by conference time."
