Day one of the Duke Invitational was canceled, but members of the team competed locally on Thursday and Friday.
DURHAM, N.C. – Due to severe weather in the area, the first day of competition at the Duke Invitational has been canceled. Most of Friday's events have been rescheduled for Saturday's final day of action.
Minnesota competed in two events before weather brought the competition to a halt in Durham, N.C. Two Gophers finished in the top 10 of the women's hammer throw with Temi Ogunrinde finishing third at 63.31 meters (207-08 ft.) and Kaitlyn Long coming in eighth at 54.60 meters (179-01 ft.). Allison Gerads also tied for fifth in the unseeded women's high jump by tying her season-best height of 1.55 meters (5-01 ft.).
Gophers Compete Locally at Lady Bear Twilight
The Gophers won two events in uniform and picked up another five event titles won by unattached athletes as members of the women's team competed at the Lady Bear Twilight hosted by Concordia St. Paul on Friday afternoon.
Leading the Gophers on the track were Maria Eastman and Abby Kargol as event champions. Eastman won the 1,500-meter run run in a career-best 4:35.60 while Kargol won the 5,000-meter run in a season-best 17:54.31. Jaycie Thomsen (1,500 meters), Bit Klecker (3,000 meter steeplechase), Kelsey Sather (800 meters), and Sarah Werking (5,000 meters) all finished as runners-up in their respective events as well.
Another four individuals won titles while competing unattached: Ayesha Champagnie (long jump), Libby Halbmaier (800 meters), Natalie Windels (400-meter hurdles), and Nayoka Clunis (hammer throw).
