LAST TIME OUT
The Minnesota Golden Gophers saw five top 10 program performances go down in Chicago Ill., at the Gately Center on Friday and Saturday at the Windy City Invite. Along the way the Maroon and Gold picked up three victories in Diarra Sow (Triple Jump), Brooke Jaworski (800m) and Maja Maunsbach (60m hurdles).Â
Sow posted her lifetime best 13.15m (43-1 3/4) jump on her fifth attempt, earning the top spot among collegiate competitors. Sow's mark improves her on No. 2 spot on the program's top 10 and pushes her to No. 13 in the NCAA this season. Brooke Moore joined Sow by posting her own top 10 program jump. Moore reached 12.67m (41-7) on her fifth attempt after posting another lifetime best of 12.50m on her first attempt. Moore's mark puts her at No. 6 in school history and helped her finish fourth overall. Another top 10 program mark was Minnesota's 4x400m relay team. The quartet of Jayla Campbell, Janielle Josephs, Dyandra Gray and Abigail Schaaffe combined to clock a 3:37.01 to place second at the Windy City Invite.
