Senior Kelsey Rubeor is sitting in 14th with 3,225 points after completing four of the seven events in the heptathlon. Thursday's performance was highlighted by her third-place finish in the shot put with a throw of 13.15 meters.
Flings Owusu-Agyapong finished seventh in her heat and 20th overall with a time of 11.72 in the 100 meter dash.
The BIG EAST 10,000 meter champion, Tito Medrano, will be competing in the finals this afternoon at 4 p.m. CT. The event was postponed until today due to inclement weather in the Des Moines area last night.
