// RUNNING AT THEIR OWN PACE
The last time all three distance runners competed was at the Raleigh Relays back on March 29. Wirth ran the third fastest 5,000m in program history with a time of 13:39.51, while Elking recorded a personal best 3:48.02 in the 1,500m – the ninth fastest time in school history.
 
// LAST TIME OUT
Freshmen Davenae Fagan's two event victories and Juliette Laracuente-Huebner's heptathlon performance led the way for the University of Cincinnati track and field program at the Jim Click Shootout and Multi's.
 
Fagan had a day to remember in the desert as she picked up a pair of victories in the 400m and 200m events. She earned her first career outdoor event win after clocking 53.54 in the 400m, the fifth fastest time in school history.
 
The Stone Mountain, Ga., native followed that performance by running a blistering 23.44 in the 200m, which moved her to fifth all-time in program history.
 
The NCAA Indoor All-American Laracuente-Huebner began her outdoor campaign by competing in her first career heptathlon and placed fourth overall in the event.
 
The freshman put on a show over the weekend as she tied former Bearcat Katie Straus for the fourth-best point total in program history with a score of 5373 points. On her way to her record total, she placed first in the high jump section with an outdoor personal best mark of 1.76m / 5' 9.25", the ninth-best mark in school history.
 
// UP NEXT
