ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Mohogany Wells posted two third-place finishes to lead the Central Michigan track & field team on Friday at the Silverston Invitational at the Michigan Indoor Track Facility.

The meet served as a warmup for the Chippewas ahead of the Mid-American Conference Championships, which are Feb. 25-26 in Kent, Ohio.

Wells, a redshirt freshman, finished third in the shot put with a throw of 14.32 meters (46 feet, 11 ¾ inches) and was third in the weight throw at 17.37 meters (57-0). Her shot put was an indoor personal best.

CMU's Kirsten Spegel also placed in both events. She was fifth in the weight throw at 14.24 meters (46-8 3/4) and finished sixth in the shot put at 11.97 meters (39-3 ¼).

The Chippewas had seven other top-10 finishes:
