FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Missouri State track and field finished out the Arkansas Qualifier with a trio of personal records and a season-best 4x400-meter relay performance on Friday in Fayetteville, Ark.

The 4x400-meter relay team of Whitney Farrington, Meghan Halstead, Victory Ifah and BreAna Garrett ran the race in 3:46.02 for a season best by almost three seconds exactly. MoState placed third in the event. The previous season best was set at second meet of the indoor season at Missouri.

Halstead also recorded a personal record in the 400-meter dash with a time of 56.94 and a 23^rd place finish.

Sophomore Ella Cronhardt shaved approximately two seconds off her personal record in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:10.69 and a 15^th place finish. Cronhardt's old PR did not stand long, as the Lee's Summit, Mo. native set the record last week at the Gorilla Classic before breaking it at Arkansas.

Kamdyn Moody also finished 15^th in the long jump with her personal record attempt of 5.33 meters or approximately 17.5 feet.

"Today was a good tune-up for conference and a strong end of the season for some others," head coach Jordan Fife said. "Ella had a really nice run in the 800-meter, and it was nice to run a big season best in the 4x400-meter to close out the meet."

Missouri State will embark on its final Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Championship on Sunday, March 2 and Monday, March 3 in Chicago.
