ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Concordia indoor track and field teams set 13 new personal records in competition today at the Northwest Open on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The first action of 2010, the teams were happy to see the positive results after a break in training over the holidays. They will look to see continued improvements in their next competition, the Minnesota Open on Jan. 16, also at the U of M.
There were several notable highlights among the field of Golden Bear participants, including Jayme Wyss (Sr., Clear Lake, Wis.) setting a new Concordia indoor record in the women's pole vault. She took fifth place in the event with her mark of 11 feet, 3.75 inches.
The women's side also took home the best overall place on the day when senior Sarah Perryman (Sr., Jordan, Minn.) won the finals of the 60m dash with a time of 8.29 seconds. Heather Schmit (Fr., Geneva, Minn.) took second place in the same race with a final time of 8.36s, although she PR'd in the prelims at 8.35s.
On the men's side, newcomer Domonique Gilmer (Jr., Minneapolis, Minn. / Iowa Central CC) took second place in the 200m dash with a time of 22.18s, just shades off of the school record set last season. A sequence of third place finishes came for both the men's and women's squad as well, in addition to their many personal records set on the day.
