SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Centre women's track & field traveled with a partial squad to Wittenberg, where the Colonels finished fifth at the Steemer Indoor Showcase against a field of teams from all Divisions. The meet featured another record-setting performance from Chloe Hein.

Hein began her day racing in the 60m and finished second overall with a time of 7.69. Later on in the meet, Hein raced in the 200m and finished third with a time of 24.86, with Amari Robinson taking eighth place in the same race.
