NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With only a few weeks left in the indoor regular season, the Bulldogs concluded the weekend in Nashville at Vanderbilt in the Music City Challenge.

After setting 34 personal bests upon the first trip to Vanderbilt in January, MSU picked right back where they left off, setting an additional 20 PRs on the weekend.

In the mile run, the duo of Rhianwedd Price and Ffion Price ran away with first and second place. Rhianwedd posted a time of 4:39.75 while her sister Ffion finished 4:43.75.

Freshmen Madelyn Lee and Chardae Tryon each had their best days of their young careers, tossing personal bests in the shot put at 12.94m and 12.89m, respectively.

Alon Lewis grabbed a top 10 finish in the 800m, setting a PR while she was at it after running a time of 2:10.73. Tiffany Flynn posted a PR to place second in the 60m Hurdle, checking in at 8.22.

On the men's side of the 3000m run, Stephen Jones recorded the best time of his career and placed 11^th after running 8:25.24.

"This was another successful weekend for us," MSU coach Steve Dudley said. "We will be back here in two weeks for SECs, so it is really good to get familiar with this facility. It is exciting to see our athletes continue to push themselves and break their own records. That is what it is all about, and I am excited to see what this team can accomplish with postseason just around the corner."
