GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Freshman Mikaela Miles headlined Embry-Riddle Women's Track & Field's performance as the Eagles opened the 2023 season at the RADD Sports Invitational at the brand-new Alachua County Sports Complex on Thursday.
 
Miles started the day with a bang for the Eagles, setting a program indoor record in the triple jump. All three of her preliminary jumps eclipsed the previous school record of 11.34m set by Daisha Brown in 2019, but it was her first attempt that solidified her standing as the program's best as she recorded a mark of 11.98m to hit the NCAA II provisional standard. That mark also stands as the ninth-best so far this season.
 
On the track, both Ariana Anderson and Kelly Steffens set personal records in the 3000m. Anderson crossed in 10:29.09, while Steffens finished in 10:51.23.
 
The Eagles close out competition in the two-day meet on Friday starting with the pole vault at 9 a.m.
