No.

Allie Schiach with 6th in the 1500 in 4:36.93. That time moves her to #10 on the C-USA list for this season.

Imani Mark runs 57.75 in the 400 meters - the 12th best time among collegiate runners. She has a better time this season (currently 9th in C-USA with 55.92).

The women's discus competition is underway. They are on the 2nd round of throws now. Ijeoma Ugwunze is in 3rd after her 1st throw, with 44.59 meters (146' 3").

Belle MacFarlane was 3rd (2nd collegian) in the high jump with 1.70 meters (5' 7"). Daisy Ding did not compete.

FBO offered a couple of possible reasons when she competed unattached at the Texas Relays. Either could make sense.
