STARKVILLE – Mississippi State track and field concluded the first day of the Maroon and White Tune Up with two event wins and a new freshman record.

While the day was low on events, it was not short on strong performances from the Bulldogs.

The day began in the women's hammer, with Marie Rougetet winning the event by over 15 meters. Rougetet threw a solid 63.42m to solidify her sweep in the hammer for the home meets this season.
Caleb Kaplan took down the freshman record in the hammer with a personal best of 59.87m. His fourth-round attempt secured him second place and moved him to No. 3 on the MSU all-time performance list in the event.

The sole running event of the day took place in the women's 5000m. Louise Stonham made her outdoor debut in the distance in a big way, winning the race with 16:57.69. Senior Madison Jones finished closely behind, earning a personal best of 17:01.65.

Competition will continue tomorrow morning with the women's pole vault. Senior Recognition will precede the track events, kicking off at 2:40 p.m. CT.
