Sevigne Husker Invite Results

USD John Dalton Open Results

                The Wayne State College women's indoor track and field teams competed at two separate meets this weekend as part of the team participated in the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational in Lincoln Friday night and Saturday while a majority of the team compete Saturday at the John Dalton Open at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion in the Dakota Dome.   The Wildcats ended up with two new school records at the two meets with two national provisional qualifying marks and one win.

                Senior sprinter Christina King broke the school record in the 400 meter dash for the third time this season at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational, running 55.81 seconds to top her previous school mark of 57.50 set at last weekend's Minnesota State Open in Mankato.  It also improves her national provisional qualifying mark which unofficially ranks as the top time in NCAA Division II. Junior Paige Pollard also set a new school record at the Sevigne Invitational by placing fourth in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:15.07, eclipsing her own school mark of 2:16.51 set last season.  Her time is also a provisional national qualifying mark.   

                At the USD John Dalton Open in Vermillion, freshman Savannah Wakeley scored her third straight win in the high jump clearing 5' 3”.  Other top five finishers for the Wildcats in Vermillion were Brianne Hofstetter taking third in the triple jump and fifth in the long jump and Megan Dias placed fourth in both the long jump and triple jump.
