Hillsdale, MI. – After the Men's Track & Field team kicked off the Last Chance Schedule on Saturday, it was the Womens Track & Field team's turn to get started. They headed to the Hillsdale College Last Chance Invitational in the first of two events for the Cardinals. Keala McCurry would be the lone competitor for the Cardinals as she makes her push for the 2025 NCAA DII Outdoor Track & Field National Championships.
McCurry would compete against some of the best Vaulters across the country, including five from the Atlantic Region. McCurry would pass on the first three heights and entered at 3.27 meters. She would miss on the first run but by run two she was up and over the bar. The next height would go to 3.42 meters and once again, McCurry would clear the bar on her second try and would be one of eight athletes to clear the height. The next bar would be set at 3.57 meters and this time McCurry would take three attempts and failed to clear the height. She would end up taking sixth in the field after clearing the bar at 3.42 meters and would take third overall among her Atlantic Regional competitors. With one more Last Chance Meet to go McCurry will continue battling to hit the Provo Mark.
Keala McCurry will return to the competition field on Sunday, May 11th, when she competes at the St. John Fisher's Last Chance Meet with first events beginning at 11 AM.
