"She has a really big goal to try and run under 13 and last year at this time of year we were averaging about 13.4, 13.5, now we're averaging like 13.1."Martin said Mehringer has the coaching staff really excited. However, she said the hard part is with her running so well, it's hard to find competition for her.Martin said they lined her up with the guys Friday because they run the 110 hurdles and that pretty much equates to what she's running for the 100 hurdles."The guys get excited because they want to race her," Martin told the Tribune-Star. "They don't want to get beat by her, but then she has people kind of challenge her."Martin said she has teammates pushing her as well.Martin said they had some people trying some new things this weekend.The male hurdlers recorded first and second-place finishes with Kieran Barnewall posting a time of 14.02 and Parke Doyle recording 14.07.In the 100-meter dash, Janiya Bowman took third in the Women's Collegiate category (11.72).

"We identified some things during the indoor season we needed to work on and we've been making some changes during practices and it's starting to show during the competitions."He said it's tough right now with school wrapping up with the stress that brings with finals coming along. Then there's the simple fact of being a Division I athlete that he mentioned.The pole vault and high jump got moved inside, which Jeff Martin said helped them."They're all competitive and they all want to do well and when you have highly motivated individuals and with good competition, typically it brings out the best of them and good performances," Mr.

Martin said.Angie said she felt they let the weather get to them a little bit in the team's previous home meet."It got to some of us today, but not as bad," she added. "So that helped with some performances."Angie Martin said her athletes understood her expectations with how she wanted them to compete.The Sycamores will head to the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday with the event running through Saturday.Angie said they're excited going into that noting they're going to do a couple of individual events such as the hurdles and a couple 10Ks."But I'm really excited to do some of the relays," Martin said.

"The shuttle hurdles are going to be really fun because we're deep on both sides."She said they're also going to run a distance medley relay for both the men and the women. They'll run a 4x800 on the men's side."We have some big goals to go place high at Drake and see if we can come home with maybe a Drake Relays flag or two," Martin said.
