The Lady Roadrunners 4 x 400m relay team consisting of sophomore Keiyah Cole of Kansas City, freshman Madison Johnson of Harrisonville, sophomore Tanner Maggard of Bon Terre, and freshman Kira Phipps of Lawson finished first with a time of 4:27.94.

Freshman Molly Prichard of Pacific finished third in the discus with a throw of 37.30 meters. Prichard finished seventh in the shot put with a throw of 11.66 meters.

Freshman Claire Nichols of Charleston, Missouri finished fourth in the javelin with a throw of 32.73 meters.

"Wichita marked the end of our regular season," said Head Coach Brad Hagedorn. "Again, we showed our mental toughness by continuing with consistent performances. Many of our kids set personal bests against some really good competition. We will spend the next week getting ready for Nationals in Monroe, Louisiana."
