Another School Record Falls At South Dakota Invitational
The Truman women's indoor track and field team competed Saturday at the Hy-Vee/University of South Dakota Track and Field Invitational in Vermillion, S.D.
Junior Natasha Carter (Chicago/South Shore) broke her own week-old school record in the 20-pound weight throw with a toss of 56'-11.5" (17.36 meters), taking first in that event. The mark was an improvement on her already provisionally qualifying mark for the NCAA Division II Championship. Carter also took first place in the shot put with a heave of 45'-7.00" (13.89 meters) another improvement on her provisional mark.
Three other Bulldogs collected first-place finishes on the day, including junior Kristi Morton (Mexico, Mo.), who cleared 10'-9.00" (3.28 meters) in the pole vault.
Sophomore Karena Singleton (Glenwood, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor) bettered her provisional mark with a leap of 37'-6.00" (11.43 meters) for first place in the triple jump. Sophomore Beth Luebbering (St. Thomas, Mo./Helias) finished first in the mile with a time of 5:19.32.
Sophomore Megan Williams (Columbia, Mo./Hickman) provisionally qualified for nationals in the 55-meter hurdles, turning in a time of 8.37 seconds, good enough for a second-place finish on the day.
