LAST TIME OUT
BSU track & field broke five meet records April 9 at the St. John’s Open in Collegeville, Minn. Sophomore Mary Goodwin broke the Beavers 3000-meter steeplechase record for the second straight week to help the team to a first-place finish among 10 teams.

Goodwin opened the outdoor season with her second straight 3000m steeplechase record, this instance with a first-place time of 11:31.69. The time also broke the meet record as she now owns the top three times and five of the top 10 at BSU all-time in the event.

BSU’s four additional meet records included first place finishes from senior Maryse Mbenoun in the 400m dash (58.99), senior Ryne Prigge in the 800m run (2:19.69), senior Analise Fabre in the triple jump (37-03.35) and the 4x100m relay team of Janice Cole, Alaina Hall, Beatrice Kjelland and Kendra Ekereke (48.79).

Fabre’s meet record in the triple jump also ranks third all-time at BSU in the event. Junior Tierra Doss placed herself among the top 10 all-time at BSU in the discus with a second-place throw of 43-11.75.

In addition to BSU’s five record breakers, the Beavers added event wins from sophomore Alaina Hall in the 100m dash (12.55) and 200m dash (25.69), Doss in the shot put (43-11.75) and Fabre in the long jump (17-04.75).

Sophomore Emily Curtice led BSU’s three participants in the heptathlon with a second-place score of 4,051. She earned a win in the shot put with a throw of 11.26 meters and took second in the javelin with a heave of 32.84m.
