DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke track & field team battled through the wind and rain Friday and Saturday at the annual Duke Invitational at Morris Williams Stadium. As a team, the Blue Devils posted one school record, one Duke all-time performance and 32 top-10 finishes.

Prior to the cancellation of the meet on Friday, senior Stefani Vukajlovic rewrote her own school record in hammer throw. On her fifth throw, Vukajlovic placed second with a mark of 213-1 (64.95m). With her mark this morning, Vukajlovic currently ranks 10th in the country. Her previous best toss was 205-10 (62.73m) at the start of the 2019 outdoor season at the High Point VertKlasse Meet.

Lauren Hoffman had a successful Saturday at the Duke Invite, highlighted by her first-place finish in the 400m hurdles in a time of 58.51, the fourth-best time in Duke outdoor history. Hoffman continued her strong performance into the 100m hurdles where she placed fourth in a personal-best time of 13.72. Hoffman's time in the 400m hurdles currently ranks her 16th in the country and fifth in the ACC.

Several Blue Devils earned the top performance in their respective events.

In the men's javelin competition, Kiegan Lenihan captured first in a mark of 66.09m while Cassie Martin cleared 1.68m in the high jump for a first-place finish. In the 100m hurdles, Erin Marsh clocked a personal-best 13.49 to take first, which is good for a personal best.

Junior Matt Wisner crossed the finish line second in the 800m in 1:49.32, a time that currently ranks third in the conference.

In the triple jump, Domonique Panton notched second place with a mark of 12.79m, just shy of her school-record performance of 12.85m.

Six distance runners all posted ACC qualifying performances in the 5000m. Dalton Randall, Nikhil Pulimood and Paul Dellinger posted personal-best times, highlighted by Dellinger's 22-second PR.

Sara Platek, Clara Savchik and Michaela Reinhart also qualified for the 5000m at the conference championships.

Additionally, Duke athletes posted personal-best performances in track events.

Brittany Aveni placed second overall in the 400m in a time of 54.56 while Stephen Garrett crossed the finish line in seventh in 9:19.43, 11-seconds faster than his previous best time, on his senior night.

Duke will return to competition April 25-27 for the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pa.
