MARIAN, Ind. – The Trine University women's track and field team finished seventh at the Little State Championships in day two action on Saturday, but three school records were broken at the event.
Haley Livingston [Fort Worth, Texas / Everman] secured new school record marks in both hurdle events: the 100-meter hurdles and 400-meter hurdles. In the 100, she secured a fourth-place finish of 14.57 seconds and won the 400 with a time of 1:05.83. The 400 time knocked down a time set by Jensyn Garrow in 2019.
