In their final tune up before next weekend's Conference USA championships, the Marquette men's and women's track and field team competed at the Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Pre-Conference Tune Up at the Klotsche Center Friday night.

The Marquette men dominated the 800m, placing the top three runners. Taking first place was freshman Jon Shaffer with a time of 1:56.40. Shaffer's time was just two seconds off of the freshman record and a personal best. Just a hair behind Shaffer was fellow freshman David Henderson who finished turned in a time of 1:56.83. Senior Luke Kunze took third with a time of 1:57.20.

Senior Jessie Swan won the 1,000m with a time of 2:58.62 and was followed right behind by junior Jamie Haro who placed second with a time of 3:00.74.

Sophomore Crystal Andalcio-O'Neil improved on her personal best in the 60m with a time of 7.68, the best 60m time on the team this season.

Sophomore Ryan McAbee set a personal best in the Pole Vault with a mark of 14 feet en route to a second place finish.

Freshman Heather Thomason took first place in the Shot Put with a throw of 40 feet 3 inches and set a personal best. It was the best throw by a Golden Eagle this season.
