COMPLETE RESULTS
HILLSDALE, Mich. – In its final meet before The Summit League Championships next weekend, the IPFW track and field team turned in some solid performances at the Hillsdale Tune Up on Saturday inside the Biermann Athletic Center on the campus of Hillsdale College.
Kayla Zink highlighted the action for the Mastodons as the junior thrower continues to re-write the IPFW record books. For the third time this season, Zink set a new all-time best mark in the weight throw and would finish second in the event. Her toss of 17.48m (57-4.25) was also the second-best mark in the conference this season. Senior Kaeleigh Porter earned a top-10 finish as well with a mark of 15.5m (50-10.25).
Zink continued to shine in the shot put where she would take home sixth place with a heave of 13.17m (43-2.5), which was not only a career-best, but the seventh-best mark in school history.
Freshman Kyley Marano would finish third in the high jump and tie the school record after clearing 1.63m (5-4.25).
On the track, freshman Brittany Beard ran the third-fastest time in program history in the mile run to grab a third place finish, clocking in at 5:07.75, while senior Julie Jeszenszky turned in a career-best time of 18:59.06 to take third in the 5000 meter run.
Sophomore Andrea Bell placed third in the 3000 meter run with a time of 10:58.42 with senior Rachel Zachar right behind her in fourth in 11:02.99.
The Mastodons grabbed another top-5 finish in the 400 meter dash where Tori Nida ran a season-best 1:01.06 to place fifth overall. Her time was the fourth-best in IPFW history.
In the 800 meter run, Beard and Kayla Boyes finished in the top-10. Beard placed seventh with a 2:23.93 and Boyes came in ninth with a 2:24.89.
Freshman Whitney Hampton landed just outside the top-10 in the 60 meter dash. Hampton ran the ninth-fastest time ever at IPFW, crossing the finish line 8.15 to earn 11th place.
Up next, the Mastodons will compete in The Summit League Championships on Friday, February 28 and Saturday, March 1 hosted by IPFW.
