Dyer Places Ninth in 1 Mile in Indiana Tech Invite

Anderson University women's track and field junior Lydia Dyer placed ninth in the 1-mile run with a time of 5 minutes, 48.35 seconds during the Indiana Tech Invite on Friday in Fort Wayne.

Julia Drier clocked a season-best 200-meter dash time of 29.71 seconds.

"This meet was the toughest competition we will face as a team all year," Coach Nic Huffman said. "We were the only D-III school to compete against some NAIA powerhouses. We didn't back down and we gave it our best. We have a lot more work to do, but I'm happy with how we approached [Friday]. We are improving; we focused on ourselves."
