Results

ROLLA, MO. – The Eutectic men's and women's track and field teams changed up their schedule and took a shorter trip than originally planned on Saturday, travelling to Rolla, Mo., for the Dewey Allgood Invitational hosted by University of Missouri-Rolla. While no team scores were kept at the meet, the Eutectic women finished with 10 top-10 performances and Leah Macon-Ford set a new school record for the women's 400m dash in her first collegiate race at the distance.
