Morehead State Women's Track & Field junior Caitlin Cunningham's event victory and freshman Dakorria Winstead re-writing the school record book were the main talking points from the Marshall Invitational Saturday afternoon.
Cunningham took home the overall victory in the 3000-meter run, coming home with a time of 9:59.78. The Murfreesboro, Tenn., native edged out her closest runner, SIUE's Aly Goff, by a mere six-hundredths of a second. With today's performance, Cunningham moves into third all-time in program history in the 3,000-meter run.
For the third time in as many attempts, Winstead broke her own previous record in the 60-meter dash. The Owensboro sprinter clocked in at 7.96 seconds in her qualifying heat, and narrowly tying that stamp in the finals, running a time of 7.97 ticks. Winstead placed fifth in both the preliminary and final races.
