Video – Beaver Fever Friday – Jane Austin – Track

Ciara Brewster led the Bemidji State University Track and Field team Friday at the BSU Twilight, taking first place in the shot put.

The senior took top honors with a throw of 40-feet, 8.75-inches, finishing just one inch short of her personal best. Brewster was the only top finisher for the Beavers, but many personal-bests were broken.

Coming in second, Jane Austin recorded a personal-best in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 11:36.

Three third-place finishes came from Sara Melom, who clocked a 60.39 in the 400-meter dash, Emeline Sevila, who finished the 200-meter dash in 26.63 and Samara Tobeck, who posted a toss of 44-08.00 in the weight throw. All three established new personal-best marks.
