Bliefernicht, a junior, was the champion of two events at this past weekend's Don Church Twilight meet hosted by Wheaton College. In the 100-meter dash, her time of 12.11 was a new personal record and the third-fastest time in Aurora history. She now leads the NACC by .35 seconds and is ranked 24th on the NCAA Division III performance list. Bliefernicht then proceeded to win the 200 by more than half a second. Her time of 24.98 makes her the first Spartan to go under 25 seconds in the 200 since 2017. She leads the NACC by .91 in that event and is ranked 31st in NCAA Division III. She also ran the second leg on the Spartans' 4x100 relay, which ran a NACC-leading time.
