FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Siena Heights freshman Emma Valentine won the women's high jump crown during Friday's day-one competition at the WHAC Indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday at Indiana Tech.

Valentine cleared 1.70 meters (5 feet, 7 inches), an NAIA automatic-qualifying height and an improvement of 0.03m over her previous-best.

Morgan Lutton added a fourth-place finish in the high jump, clearing 1.59m (5-2 1/4).

SHU's pole vaulters finished 2-3-4-5-7 at the meet.

The first four hit auto heights, although none recorded season-highs. Tyler Fugate was runner-up at 3.82m (12-6 1/4) while Erica Albrecht, Samantha Nowell and Margherita Conrad finished 3-4-5 -- all with a top height of 3.62m (11-0 1/2).

Chasity Mies was seventh at 3.42m (11-2 1/4), a provisional height. She already has an auto ticket.

Xochitl Garcia ran to third place in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 19:04.08.

Erin Gotha placed fifth in the weight throw with a distance of 14.66m (48-1 1/4).

Faith Jackson ran an auto time of 8.81 seconds while earning the No. 4 seed during 60-meter-hurdle prelims. The 8.81 is only 0.02 seconds off her fastest time.

The WHAC Indoor Championships will wrap up Saturday at Indiana Tech.

After one day, SHU is in second place with 58.5 points. It trails only Indiana Tech (79).
