– The Eastern Michigan University track & field program had a valiant showing on the second day of the NCAA East Preliminary Championships in Jacksonville, Fla., today, May 27. Despite the solid efforts, three Eagles saw their seasons come to a close and will take a brief summer break before preparing for the next season.Senior Kadian Clarke (Kingston, Jamaica-Immaculate Conception) finished her historic year with a hammer throw of 56.16m for 41st overall in the competition. For Clarke, she wraps up her senior campaign having achieved the school record in the outdoor shot put (14.83m) and hammer throw (58.87m) as well as No. 2 in the indoor shot put (15.29m). Also in the field, junior Nina Ward (Fairfield, Ohio-Fairfield) leaped 5.73m in the long jump for 39th in her first regional appearance.
