Faith Jackson finished in second place in the 60 meter hurdles with a time of 8.81 seconds to earn the automatic berth mark.  Jackson had hit the mark in a previous event this season, but shortened her time, beating her previous mark of 8.90 seconds.

The Saints saw a total of six additional top five placements for the meet.  Morgan Turk placed first in the one mile run with a time of 5:33.49.  Isabelle Uganski placed second in the 3,000 meter run with a time of 11:24.47.  Jackson also placed third in the 60 meters with a time of 7.96 while Linnearia Richards placed third in the 60 meter hurdles with a time of 9.23 seconds.  Richards also notched a fifth place finish with her efforts in the 200 meters with a time of 26.90 with Erin Gotha rounding out the top five placements with her fifth place finish in the weight throw with a throw of 15.49 meters.

The Saints will return to action after the holiday break at the SVSU Invitational in January.
