Two individual event wins, a school record tie and several personal bests highlighted the Butler women's track and field team performance at the Ball State Tune-Up.

Coach Burns on the Meet
"We had a strong start to the competitive season for our women's program with notable performances by our upperclassmen, and impressive starts to college careers for our freshmen," said coach Robby Burns. "It was a great opportunity for our athletes to get back into their spikes and show the hard work they've put in over the last several months. Every chance we have to compete is a chance to learn and develop as athletes, and this group took advantage of today's opportunity."
