The Shelbyville graduate solidified herself as her conference’s top sprinter with a record-setting performance Friday at the Friday Night Spikes indoor track and field meet hosted by Rose-Hulman University.

The Hanover College sophomore won the 60-meter dash in 8.0 seconds to break the school record. She also teamed with Alijah Craig, Makenzie Carroll and Alexis Gerke to win the 800-meter relay in 1:57.74.

That success helped Martin earn her third Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference’s Athlete of the Week award.

She will compete Saturday in the HCAC Indoor Championships.
