ANDERSON — Gabi Bilbrey took one step up to the top of the standings in her second indoor meet of the season.
Molly Muhlenkamp and a boys relay joined her in victory.
Bilbrey, who was second in the season opener at Indiana Wesleyan University, won the shot put Saturday in the Golden Eagle Relays at Anderson University with Muhlenkamp taking the top spot the high jump. The boys finished first in the 4x800-meter relay.
With a toss of 38 feet, 1 inch, Saturday, Bilbrey improved by more than 3.5 feet over her second-place finish eight days earlier. She won the event by more than 4 feet over runner-up Maris Bulger of Guerin Catholic.
Teammates Chelsea Frontz (30 feet, 3 inches) and Jordyn Hutzler (30 feet, 1 inch) followed Bilbrey for the Patriots in fifth and sixth place, respectively.
Muhlenkamp made it over the bar on her first attempt at 4 feet, 10 inches, to give her the victory in the high jump. Teammate Jenna Dues and Guerin Catholic’s Kori Dues were runners-up, also at 4 feet, 10 inches.
