MANKATO, Minn. – St. Cloud State Track & Field finished seventh place in the team standings at the Minnesota State Open on Saturday in Mankato. The Huskies recorded six top-five finishes, two new personal bests and one season-best marks set.

Freshman sprinter Viola Okey-Ezealah (Lagos, Nigera) and freshman sprinter/hurdler Trinity Wallendal (Fon du Lac, Wis.) each made their collegiate debut in the 100 meters.

Senior sprinter Katie Lavato (Buffalo, Minn.) placed sixth in the 200 meters after running to a new personal best time of 25.94, 0.11 seconds faster than her previous best that she ran at the 2023 NSIC Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Junior jumper/middle distance runner Makaylin Christenson (Prairie Farms, Wis.) ran a 0.60 second season-best time (1:08.67) in the 400 hurdles en route to a fourth-place finish.
