The Valparaiso University track and field teams took to a slick track Saturday for Day 2 of the Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Championships during a rainy day at Indiana State. The day was highlighted by two personal records in the 800- one each from Julia Rustmann (Grosse-Pointe, Mich./ Grosse Pointe North [Michigan State]) and Conner Hickey (Peru, Ill./ LaSalle-Peru) - as well as a PR by Zack Fortener (Byron, Ill./ Byron), who competed in the decathlon.
How It Happened
Thoughts from Head Coach Ryan Moore
“We battled the elements today. Our teams fought hard to earn some good results.”
“It's a process, and we are a young group. They are hungry, and I am excited to see how we grow over the next several years. There is still work to be done to finish out the season, and we want to have as many high notes as possible the rest of the weekend.”
“Hats off to Julia Rustmann for her efforts in the 800 and earning a spot in finals, and to Conner Hickey for gutting out a great mark in the 800 as well. Our high jumpers topped off the evening with some great results as well.”
