The University of Minnesota picked up seven victories on the road at the Simmons-Harvey Invitational at the University of Michigan, with three different events posting top 10 program marks and times. Shelby Frank had another stand-out performance in the weight throw, with the reigning Big Ten champion winning the event with a mark of 23.06m (75-8), which is the No. 3 mark in the NCAA this season.
In her first 800m as a member of the Maroon and Gold, graduate Brooke Jaworski finished with the fourth-fastest time in school history at 2:06.34. The Maroon and Gold capped off the day with a pair of performances that go down as the No. 10 marks in school history. True freshman Sofia Condon started it off with a vault of 4.00m (13-1 1/2) to finish third overall. The women's 4x400m relay team then concluded the meet with the 10th-fastest time in school history at 3:38.67. The team consisted of Jayla Campbell, Dyandra Gray, Brooke Jaworski and Janielle Josephs now have the No. 12 time in the country.
