Last Time Out: Gophers Win Eight Titles at Parents Day Invite
Minnesota took home eight event titles at the Parents Day Invite as the Gopher women hosted their final home meet of the indoor season last weekend. Kiley Sabin, Lexi Kiefer, and Ally Smith won titles for the Maroon & Gold, and unattached Gophers won another five events. Sabin improved on her own Gophers' program record and set a Parents Day Invite meet record with her winning throw of 17.47m (57-03.75) in the shot put while Kiefer also had an all-time top-10 performance for the Maroon & Gold in winning the pole vault with an indoor career-best mark of 4.00m (13-01.50), good for eighth in Gophers' history. On the track, Smith won the 3,000m run in a career-best 9:57.94 and led nine Gophers among the top 12 finishers. Ayesha Champagnie (60m hurdles and unseeded shot put), Libby Halbmaier (mile), and Kaitlyn Long (weight throw) won individual titles while competing unattached, and the unattached 4x400m relay team of Natalie Windels, Lauren Hansen, Champagnie, and graduate assistant coach Titania Markland won in 3:50.20 as well.

Gophers Celebrate Track & Field Stadium Grand Opening
The University of Minnesota and Gopher Athletics celebrated a new era of track & field with the grand opening of the University of Minnesota Track and Field Stadium on Monday, Sept. 17. Located in the heart of the new Athletes Village area, this facility will become synonymous with track & field excellence in the Midwest. It will not only provide a first-class experience for the Gophers, but it will also provide a wonderful venue for the state's largest amateur meets and a Minnesota option for USA Track & Field to place its marquee events in the Upper Midwest.
The University of Minnesota Track and Field Stadium gives Minnesota its first opportunity in more than 15 years to host home outdoor meets, including Big Ten and NCAA competition. The facility features a nine-lane track with the Beynon 2000 surface, full-field event hosting capabilities, versatile configuration, fully enclosed, heated warm-up and cool down areas, and grandstands with the capacity to host major competitions.
