The Forester track team is at Illinois College this weekend for the two-day Midwest Conference Outdoor Championships and turned in several notable performances on Friday.

Three Lake Forest runners qualified for Saturday's finals with top-eight finishes in the spring events. Matthew Lungu posted the meet's fourth-fastest time and broke his own school record in the 400m, which he finished in 50.80 seconds. Sophomore AJ Jones was sixth in the 100m in 12.92 seconds and classmate Jacquelyn Han seventh in the 100m hurdles with a time of 17.53.

Lungu set another team record in the 200m with a time of 23.07 seconds, good for 11th place at the meet. Jones was 10th among the women's 200m competitors and her career-best clocking of 26.88 seconds improves her second place standing in program history.

Junior Bart Brophy and freshman Ali Faiz placed 11th and 12th, respectively, in the men's 1500 on Friday. Brophy finished in 4:03.76, narrowly missing out on breaking his own team record of 4:03.34, and Faiz crossed the finish line just a tenth of a second later and now ranks second in school history in the event.

Junior Delfina Jorgensen was the Foresters' top finisher in the women's 1500m, placing 13th in 5:24.20. Sophomore Michael Alade took the same place in the men's long jump with a leap of 20 feet, 3 inches.

The fastest 100m runner for the Lake Forest men on Friday was sophomore Mason Wright with a time of 11.73 seconds. He ranked 19th at the meet.

The meet will resume Saturday morning at 10:30.
