Emory University senior Morgan Monroe recorded the top time by a University Athletic Association (UAA) competitor this season in the 60-meter hurdles at the DePauw Indoor Classic on Saturday.  Monroe finished second in the 60-meter hurdles at the meet, as her career-best time of 8.94 seconds was the best in the UAA in 2014, and tied for the seventh-fastest in all of Division III.  In addition, she became just the second Eagle ever to break the nine-second threshold in the event, and her time was eight-hundredths of a second shy of the school record.  Her time of 9.01 seconds in the preliminaries of the event on Saturday ranked as the third-fastest mark in school history.  Monroe also finished fourth in the finals of the 60-meter dash with a career-best time of 8.09 seconds, the third-fastest in the UAA this season.  She scored 13 points during the meet, helping the Eagles finish 13th out of 17 teams, despite sending just two runners to compete.
