SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Michigan State throwers wrapped up their two-day competition at the Meyo Invite on Saturday afternoon, highlighted by freshman Jess Stieb breaking her own school record in the shot put.
Stieb originally broke the indoor shot put school record at 16.60m in her first career collegiate try on Dec. 8, 2023 at the GVSU Holiday Open. On her third try of the day Friday, the Loup City, Neb. native reset the record at 16.63m.
Another highlight of the meet for the Spartans was three podium finishes, led by Stieb's second place finish. Placing third in the men's and women's shot put was sophomore Colby Morlock at 18.29m and junior Opal Jackson at 16.10m.
Next, MSU Track and Field will be split up between three meets on Friday and Saturday Feb. 9-10. The majority of the varsity athletes will be competing at the Windy City Invite in Chicago, Ill., others will be at the GVSU Big Meet in Allendale, Mich. and four of the top Spartan women's distance runners will be competing at the Dave Hemery Valentine Invite on Boston University's 'world's fastest indoor track'.
