04/16/2012

Mary Kate Taylor, a freshman from Chillicothe, MO, set a new school record in the 3,000 meter steeplechase with a time of 12:37.59 just four seconds off the national qualifying standard. This would place her 1^st in the event at the Darrel Gourley William Jewell Invitational on Saturday, April14. The old record of 12:41.59 was set by Samantha Waldner in 2009. Taylor is currently ranked 14^th nationally, and 10^th nationally in the 10,000 meter.

Three Scotties made it to the finals in the 100 meter with Keidra Wade (St Louis, MO) leading the way with a 3^rd place finish running her fastest time of the season in 12.56. Samantha Meisenheimer (Baldwin City) finished 6^th and Courtney Frady (Holt, MO) finished 7^th. Wade also finished 3^rd in the 200 meter with Frady at 5^th place and Meisenheimer finishing 8^th. Highland’s 4 x 100 relay with Meisenheimer, Frady, Blaser, and Wade finished 2^nd with a season best time of 50.64

In the field events, freshman Randi Blaser (Lawson, MO) placed 3^rd with a jump of 1.45 meters. Rebecca Hasenkamp (Soldier) placed 3^rd in the javelin, with Erica Dwerlkotte (Frankfort) throwing a season best of 31.75 meters placing 6^th.

“We had a good day at William Jewell. We took just seven team members to this meet and they placed 5^th overall, scoring 60 points against all four-year colleges. The team is continuing to improve each meet which is a good sign. Some will participate this coming week at the KU Relays, and then we have Emporia State’s midweek meet on April 25, with our Region Meet coming up May 4,” Coach Bond stated.
