Winkler Finishes Second in MIAA Heptathlon
Truman freshman Christina Winkler (High Ridge, Mo./Northwest) finished second in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association heptathlon competition, which concluded today on the campus of Missouri Southern State College in Joplin.
Winkler tallied 4,484 points in the multi-event competition to snag runner-up honors and finish 76 points ahead of third-place Lori Pitz of Central Missouri State. Emporia State (Kan.)'s Sarah Wuertz won with 4,750 points.
Winkler garnered three first-place showings in the two-day contest. During action on Sunday, the opening day of competition, Winkler finished first in the 110-meter low hurdles (15.01) and the 200-meter dash (25.73), scoring a combined 1,661 points in those two events.
After Day 1, Winkler was in third place but moved up during Monday's action with a first-place performance of 2:15.97 in the 800-meter run. That was worth 879 points.
Winkler's point total is an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark.
Truman enters this weekend's MIAA Outdoor Championships with 11 points, as Winkler's second-place finish is worth nine and freshman Karla Jordan (Liberty, Mo.)'s heptathlon performance is worth another two.
Jordan finished fifth in the heptathlon with 4,076 points, followed by Truman sophomore Jackie McDuffey (Pineville, Mo./McDonald County) in eighth with 3,967.
Jordan posted a third-place finish in the long jump (5.12 meters) and was fourth in both the 100-meter low hurdles (15.64) and 800-meter run (2:35.39). McDuffey finished third in the 800 (2:31.58) and fourth in the 200 meters (26.50).
UP NEXT: The MIAA Championships will be held on Saturday and Sunday (May 4-5) in Emporia, Kan. After the 'Dogs head to a couple of last chance meets on May 11, the NCAA Division II Championships will take place May 23-25 in San Angelo, Texas.
