KENT, Ohio – On a day in which Kent State celebrated 50 years of varsity status for its women's track and field team, Amryne Chilton set the program record in the 60-meter dash with the previous recordholder in attendance.

Kent State had a strong showing in the women's 60-meter hurdles with four in the top six finishers. Gabrielle Hammonds clocked a PR of 8.62 seconds for the win and the eighth fastest time in school history. Alexa Nestor (8.73), Andrea Filote (8.78) and Shelby Grover (8.87) placed third, fourth and sixth, respectively.
Led by Karsyn Spears, the Flashes took the top three spots in the women's 800-meter run. Spears won in 2:11.68, while Anna Jones placed second in 2:14.73 and Nicole Kuehner was third in 2:14.80.
Aliesha Shaw earned the final victory of the day for the women with a mark of 48'-6" in the shot put. Aubrey Schoeneman placed third with a top throw of 47'-2.5".
