Cardinals look to build on last week's performances
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – After collecting nine wins at the Gene Edmonds Open last weekend, the University of Louisville men's and women's track and field teams head to South Bend, Ind. for the Notre Dame Invitational on Saturday.
The competition will open at 11 a.m. with the Long Jump and conclude with the 4x400 m relay at 4:30 p.m. Louisville will compete against hosts Notre Dame, Central Michigan, Illinois State, and Loyola-Chicago.
Last weekend, the Cardinals picked up nine wins and double-digit top three finishes. Makenli Forrest picked up the win in women's weight throw while Morgan Zacharias took the top spot in women's pole vault. Louisville claimed the titles in men and women's shot put with winning throws by Christian Buckley and Rashida Harris. Renate van Tonder won the women's long jump. Anthony McRoberts rounded out the field event winners with the men's high jump victory.
On the track, the Cardinals swept the 3000m races with Cameron Stephens and Aurilla Wilson crossing the finish line first for the Cardinals while Brooke Raglin tallied her first win of the season.
In 2018, the Louisville women's side captured the Notre Dame Invitational title. In addition, the Cardinals won five events at the 2018 meet, four of which were by returners to this year's team. On the women's side, sophomores Brooke Raglin and Gabriela Leon picked up wins in the 60m and pole vault, respectively. Junior Dorcas Wasike took the title in the 3,000m while Donald McClinton, Jr. picked the lone men's victory for the Cardinals in the long jump.
