JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In the second-to-last meet of the season, the Embry-Riddle women's track and field team recorded several personal records and provisional qualifying marks at the two-day East Coast Relays hosted by the University of North Florida.
 
The Eagles' first personal record set at the meet came in Friday's first event on the track as Laura McBride crossed the line in 1:02.42 in the 400m hurdles.
 
In the 3000m Steeplechase, Ariana Anderson once again added her name to the Embry-Riddle Top 10, recording the fourth-fastest time in program history (10:58.31) to place third overall. Anderson now owns the top four times in ERAU history and is a provisional qualifier.
 
Going into this weekend's meet, Ukeyvia Beckwith owned the fastest 800m time in NCAA II this season. On Saturday, she bettered that time with a personal-best 2:04.84 to take fourth overall in a field dominated by NCAA I competition.
 
Maxime Kirschner's performance in the javelin saw her improve her previous PR by nearly two meters. She posted a top-10 finish with a throw of 42.17m to meet the NCAA II provisional qualifying standard.
 
Mikaela Miles continued to rewrite the ERAU record books besting her own program-best mark in the triple jump with a leap of 12.14m.
 
The Eagles wrapped up Saturday's competition with a provisional qualifying time in the 4x400m relay. Laura McBride, Morgan Dudley, Nina Richardson and Ukeyvia Beckwith teamed up for a season-best time of 3:47.12, which is also the fifth-fastest time in program history.
 
The Eagles have one more chance to achieve more qualifying marks at the Lee University Last Chance Meet in Cleveland, Tennessee on May 13.
