MSSU track teams claim four event wins at Northwest Open

(From MSSU Lions Athletic News)

MARYVILLE, Mo.-The Missouri Southern State University Track and Field Teams posted 11 provisional qualifying marks and claimed four event wins at the 2020 Northwest Open on Saturday.

On the women's side, Kiara Smith won the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.71 to earn a provisional qualifying mark.

Last week's Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Women's Track Athlete of the Week, Jasmine Deckard finished second in the 60-meter dash with a provisional qualifying time of 7.62. Deckard took second in the 200 meter dash with a provisional qualifying mark of 24.26. The mark is the third best in the MSSU record books as she holds seven of the school's top-ten marks.

Samantha Petry finished second in the pole vault with a provisional mark of 3.92 meters. Teammate Elena Bisotto finished in a tie for third while Megan Tramel finished in fifth, both posting provisional marks of 3.67 meters.








Jennifer Okeke won the triple jump by posting a provisional qualifying mark of 11.71 meter.

On the men's side, Ryan Riddle had a stellar mile race as he finished with a provisional time of 4:09.44. The time is the second best time in school history in the event, just over a tenth of a second off the school record time of 4:09.32 set back in 2010 by Brennan Benkert at the MIAA Championships.

Josh Norville's second jump of the day in the long jump went for 7.34 meters as he finished second with a provisional qualifying mark. His jump was the fifth best in school history as he owns four of the top five marks.

Brendan Watkins finished second in the triple jump and had a provisional mark of 14.58 meters.

Last week's MIAA Field Athlete of the Week, Dean Howard won the pole vault with a provisional qualifying mark and a meet record clearance of 5.15 meters. His mark is seventh best on the MSSU top ten performance list.
