CHARLESTON, Ill. — The Bellarmine University track and field teams competed in their final tune-up before the Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Championships as the Knights participated in Eastern Illinois' EIU Friday Night Special.

Senior Benton Stone recorded a PR — and another NCAA provisional — with a 5.10-meter effort in the pole vault. It was good for second place and stood at eighth nationally.

Freshman Raegan Franklin made it a theme for Bellarmine after recording an NCAA provisional 3.65 on the women's side in the pole vault. She placed fourth in the event.

Senior Ashley Reyna-Padilla finished third in the 200 as Bellarmine had three place in the top 9 — senior Victoria McKenzie took fifth and freshman Katrina Kamarute secured ninth. Senior Sarah McMurchie placed sixth in the 400.

In addition to Stone, junior Logan Greco finished fifth in the mile, and sophomore Tristan Backer was ninth among 37 competitors in the 800.

The GLVC Championships will take place next Saturday and Sunday at host UIndy.
