Baker chalked up another automatic qualifying time in his signature event, the 60-meter dash, to head into the conference meet on a high note.
Baker is the defending national champion in the 60m and remains the top overall seed in Division II this season with eight total student-athletes running 6.72 or faster.
Baker was the fastest in his preliminary and finals heat at the Silverston Invitational up at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He clocked a 6.76 in the prelims before bettering his time with a 6.70 in the finals to win the event.
One week after tying his overall conference record at the USATF Indoor Nationals, Baker put two more times in the top 10 of the conference record books at fifth and eighth, respectively.
Baker will look to beat his conference championship record time of 6.77 that he ran last year.
