South Bend, Ind.- Freshman Dorian Hayes and sophomore Idara Essien continued to shine even after last weekend's Horizon League Indoor Championships, as the duo competed in one final indoor meet of the season against some of the nation's best at the Alex Wilson Invitational, hosted by the University of Notre Dame at the Loftus Sports Center.

Hayes ran a 7.16 in the men's 60-meter dash finals to place fifth.

Essien competed in the women's triple jump, placing seventh overall with a mark of 11.87 meters.
