MARION, Ind. --- No fewer than nine members of the University of St. Francis women's track team helped the Saints land three first-place finishes and five other top four finishes at the Indiana Wesleyan University Open on Saturday.

Senior Jennifer Horn (Montague H.S./Montague, MI) and sophomore Courtney Madden (Plainfield Central H.S./Plainfield, IL) made up half of USF's first-place 4x400-meter relay team. They were joined by teammates Aprille Froelich (Amboy H.S./Amboy, IL) and Samantha Bond (Lockport H.S./Lockport, IL) in registering a time of 4:21.80.

Madden and Horn then followed up with third and fourth-place showings, respectively, in the 1,000 meter run (3:07.9) and 60 meter hurdles (9.89 seconds). Junior Brittany McAllister (Plainfield South H.S./Crest Hill, IL) placed right behind Madden in the 1,000 meter run with a time of 3:09.10.

USF's other first-place performances came from senior Jessica Horn (Montague H.S./Montague, MI) in the high jump with a leap of 4 feet, 11.75 inches and freshman Chelsea Rimington (Lena-Winslow H.S./Lena, IL) in the shot put, where she authored a throw of 38-11.5.

Freshman Julia Borel-Donohue (Bellbrook H.S./Bellbrook, OH) posted USF's other third-place finish running a 5:39.60 mile. Sophomore Vanessa Sager (Tinley Park H.S./Tinley Park, IL) was fourth in the triple jump with her 33-10.25 jump.
