(Geneva, Ohio) The Golden Eagles continue to perform well on the second day of NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships.

In the first event, the 3,000 meter race walk, Cornerstone sent three women to the line.  Junior, Monica Lawrence spent the early laps in the pack that formed behind a great duel between the 2012 champion, Nicole Bonk of Embry-Riddle and freshman, Mereth Zalba of Missouri Baptist.  Lawrence battled Goshen's Abby Dunn and Erin Helmuth for the third through fifth spots, putting in a great move with 500 meters to go. Dunn responded and held third to the finish. Bonk broke the meet record of 13:56.06 set in 2002, clocking 13:53.63 with Zalba :22 behind. Lawrence finished fourth in 15:20.17, taking :14 off her best time. Brianna Griffiths and Kayla Ovokaitys raced well together for most of the way, each in her first national meet. Griffiths used a great kick to finish twelfth in 16:41.38. Ovokaitys was :18 back, but picked up her third form violation in the last lap resulting in disqualification.
