In her first recorded high jump since the ACC Indoor Championships last February, Marsh cleared 1.77 meters (5-9.75 feet), which is good for a new PR and the third-highest mark in Duke indoor history.
The Buford, Ga., native also set a PR in the women's shot put, recording a distance of 11.97m (39-3.75 feet) to place seventh in the event.
Another highlight for the Blue Devils came in the men's 400m, where graduate transfer Alex Schwedt ran a first-place time of 48.26 seconds – the fifth-fastest indoor mark ever at Duke. Schwedt also won the men's 500m on Friday night.
Sophomore Ezra Mellinger continued his hot start to the indoor campaign by placing second in the men's long jump with a mark of 7.17m (23-6.25 feet).
The women's 4x400m relay team closed out the day on a strong note for the Blue Devils, taking first with a finishing time of 3:49.84. The quartet consisted of senior Lauren Hoffman, sophomore Carly King, freshman Hailey Williams and junior Kelcie Simmons.
Simmons and Williams also posted impressive results in the women's 200m, as Simmons finished second (24.72) while Williams placed third (24.85). Sophomore Joseph Laster III finished second on the men's side with a time of 23.06 seconds.
Sophomore Brynn King, who took first place in the women's pole vault last week at Clemson, reached a PR height of 4.22m (13-10.0 feet) on Saturday for fourth place.
In the men's shot put at noon, redshirt-senior Ben Beatty claimed third with a mark of 17.89m (58-8.5 feet).
Duke will head back to Blacksburg next week for the three-day Hokie Invite. Events will begin Thursday, Jan. 21 and concluded Saturday, Jan. 23.
