Marsh Takes Silver in Pentathlon at NCAA Indoors on Historic Day for Program
3/11/2022 9:03:00 PM | Track & Field
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Graduate student Erin Marsh took home a silver medal in the women's pentathlon, to headline a historic day for the Duke track and field program on the first day of the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Marsh finished as runner-up with 4383 points and beat her school record in the event, which she set last year at NCAA Indoors, by 39 points. Senior Isabel Wakefield delivered a strong showing in her NCAA Indoors debut, as she bested her No. 3 all-time pentathlon mark by 17 points, finishing with 4,176 overall to place seventh. The duo's performances earned them both All-America First Team honors, marking the first time in program history that Duke has had two first team All-Americans in the same event in the same year.
A native of Buford, Ga., Marsh opened the day with a third-place finish of 8.25 seconds in the 60m hurdles, then produced several strong performances to maintain her spot in the top three overall. The graduate student registered a season-best jump of 1.75m (5-8.75 feet) in the high jump to take fifth place and move into second overall, following that with a personal-best performance in the shot put via a toss of 12.86m (42-2.25 feet) which was good for fourth. Marsh produced a leap of 5.95m (19-6.25) (fourth) in the long jump before closing the event with another season-best performance, this time in the 800m, behind a run of 2:18.63.
Wakefield started the morning with a bang as she raced to a first-place finish in the 60m hurdles, clocking 8.17 seconds. After twice notching a personal best in the high jump – 1.66m (5-5.25 feet), then 1.69m (5-6.50 feet) – the senior took second in the long jump off a leap of 6.07m (19-11 feet).
Additionally, graduate student Nick Dahl booked his spot in Saturday's men's mile final, winning his heat with a run of 4:00.99. Dahl stayed among the front of the pack throughout the race then turned on the jets during the final lap to earn the automatic qualification.
Dahl will be back in action on Saturday afternoon, competing in the men's mile final at 4 p.m. CT on ESPN3.
