FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The IPFW women's track team got individual eighth-place finishes by Kayla Zink in the shot put, Kyley Marano in the high jump, and Brittany Beard in the 800, to go with a sixth-place finish in the 4x400-meter relay, pushing the Mastodons to a sixth-place finish at the 2014 Summit League Championships.
IPFW concluded the meet with 25.33 points while North Dakota State collected 233 points on their way to winning their seventh straight indoor team title. South Dakota (142.33) and Omaha (109) followed in second and third place, respectively. Western Illinois totaled 36.33 points to place fifth and IUPUI scored 15 to round out the field in seventh.
Zink followed up her record breaking performance in the weight throw on day one of the championships by establishing a new career-best in the shot put. Her heave of 13.34m was not only good enough for eighth place, but was also the seventh-best mark in school history.
In the high jump, Marano cleared 1.57m to tie for eighth place with three other athletes.
Beard, who was coming off a school record 2:15.32 in the 800-meter run preliminaries, ran a 2:27.84 in the finals to take home eighth place in the event.
Beard narrowly missed scoring again in the mile run, finishing ninth, after crossing the finish line in 5:09.90 while Kayla Boyes placed 11th with a time of 5:11.85. The times rank as the eighth and tenth-best marks all-time at IPFW in the event.
The Mastodons ended the meet on a high note as the 4x400-meter relay team, comprised of Marano, Kaylin Taylor, Alexis Wygant, and Tori Nida, smashed the school record by almost two seconds with a time of 4:08.68 in the event.
IPFW opens the outdoor portion of their schedule in Indianapolis, Ind. on Saturday, March 22 at the Bulldog Opener hosted by Butler.
