15 YEAR OLD Olympic Trials Marathon Qualifier...that is NOT a typo!
I was utterly amazed then and am STILL in awe today of the 15 years, 6 months, and 17 days Olympic Marathon Trials qualifying time of a young Redwood City Striders lad, Mitch Kingery, way back in 1972...his 2:29:11 performance at the West Valley Marathon, which surpassed that year's OT standard of 2:30, landed him on the cover of the Rolling Stone and, is to this very day, STILL the age 15 world record at the... distance.
On the distaff side, a juvenile Cath Schiro holds the most youthful qualifier crown when she competed in the inaugural Women's Olympic Marathon Trials in Olympia, Washington circa 1984 at the tender age of 16 years, 6 months and 17 days.
Just a smidge of Trials Trivia some 4 weeks out from the 2016 rendition.

Mitch Kingery - informal high school timeline
According to a few posts on letsrun.com
, he overtrained with too many miles at the end of his junior year and "burnt out", as recollected by "sacto master" in 2007. http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=2159903&page=1

Joe CarlsonHah! That's the course on which I qualified in '76...heavy rain over the final loop...2:22.03 in a 2:23 standard year. I thought that fence looked familiar!! 5 loops, so, it should have.

Greg HillGreat stuff. I recall a bunch of great young runners from those days. Reggie Heywood - age 10 - 2:57; Tom Ansberry - age 13 - 2:43; Mary Eta Boitano - age 11 - 3:01. But 2:29 is a whole different type of fast. I wonder what kind of training he did.

SEATTLE – The UW Indoor Preview kicked off the 2016 Dempsey Indoor season today, and the Huskies started and finished the more than eight hours of track and field with victories to set a positive tone for the season. Making the most waves today was junior Kennadi Bouyer, as the versatile speedster raced four times and posted two new Top-10 marks, including a 60-meter dash time of 7.35 seconds that was just .01-seconds off the school record.
Bouyer, the University Place, Wash. product, was part of UW’s school record-setting 4x100m relay last year, helping the squad take third at Pac-12s, and she also was fifth at the conference meet in the long jump. Focusing solely on the sprints today, Bouyer went through three rounds of the 60-meters, running 7.42 in her opener, which was already a PR ahead of the 7.45 mark she ran in 2015. In the next round, Bouyer got down to 7.37 to reach the final, and she shaved two more hundredths off in the final to take sole possession of second in school history at 7.35, just behind Ashley Lodree’s mark of 7.34 from 2007.
Later in the day, Bouyer was back to run a 200-meters, where she easily outran her previous career-best of 24.80 with a time of 24.55 seconds, moving up to No. 4 all-time on that list. In the 60-meters, Bouyer moved into the No. 9 spot nationally.
“Kennadi Bouyer had about as good of a day as any women’s sprinter has had in Husky history. She just missed our school record in the 60 after three really good races and ran a quality 200, so I’m excited for when she takes her speed to the runway,” said Head Coach Greg Metcalf.
The first race of the day, and the season, was a 60m hurdles heat that was won by senior Naivasha Sophusson Smith, who would post a PR of 8.85 seconds and reach the final along with freshman Morganne Hill. A Bakersfield, Calif. native, Hill placed sixth overall in the final with a time of 8.75 seconds. Bookending the long day was a win for the Husky men’s 4x400-meter relay, as Quadelle Satterwhite, Andrew Brown, Jacopo Spano, and true freshman Ryan Croson got the win in 3:14.20.
Another sprinter quickly out of the gates was senior Chris Williams, who took second in the 60-meter hurdles today with a time of 7.92 seconds that puts him 19th nationally in the early going. Sophoomore Sierra Peterson won her first 60m heat in 7.54 seconds, just off her PR of 7.51, but a false start in the next round kept her from a shot at an even faster time.
All-American Kristina Owsinski equaled her indoor PR in her first outing today, as she cleared 14-feet, 2-inches in the pole vault to get the victory. That mark got Owsinski to NCAAs a year ago, and puts her fourth in the early national pecking order. Owsinski had three tries at 14-6, which would have been an indoor school record to go with the one she has outdoors. Fellow senior Diamara Planell Cruz also 13-6 ¼ today to finish second, missing some close tries at 14-0.
Senior Frank Catelli had a good start to his season with a shot put toss of 58-3 to finish fourth. Sophomore Jack Lembcke also tossed 55-4 ¼, an indoor PR by over two feet. Another PR came from sophomore Carey Campbell, who went 54-1 ¼ in the weight throw to take fourth, an improvement of nearly three feet over his old best. Sophomore Onyie Chibuogwu was fifth in the women’s weight, tossing 55-5.
Many of the Husky middle and long distance runners knocked the rust off with runs at 600- or 1,000-meters, races that will lead them towards their distances of choice later in the year. Washington went one-two in two of the three heats in the men’s 600-meters. Blake Nelson and Johnathan Stevens led the way in heat two, Nelson winning in 2:27.40 and Stevens clocking 2:27.82. Then cross country All-American pair Izaic Yorks and Colby Gilbert beat a strong field in the fast heat, with Yorks cruising to a win in 2:24.68 and Gilbert finishing second in 2:25.20.
Redshirt freshman Hannah Derby made the most of her first day in uniform, as she ran a strong 600-meters in 1:33.12 and came back for a solid 4x400m leg to end the day. 800-meter All-American Baylee Mires had a strong thousand meters time of 2:46.83, finishing just ahead of sophomore Anna Maxwell in 2:47.13 and senior Eleanor Fulton who ran 2:47.30. One of the few Huskies at a conventional distance was Katie Knight, who ran a very impressive season-opening mile, clocking 4:44.95 to place seventh overall and fourth among collegians.
“I thought Chris Williams had a nice start. I think our distance kids had a great start. Everybody that ran a thousand meters, I thought they ran great, and they came back and ran quality 4x4 legs. A lot of our throwers started off right around their PRs like Frank Catelli and Jack Lembcke in the shot and Carey Campbell and Onyie Chibuogwu were solid in the weight. So top to bottom it wasn’t perfect but it was pretty darn good.”
Sophomore Josh Gordon, competing for the first time since 2013, showed he can provide "instant offense" in the long jump once again, as he went 23-7 1/4 today to place third overall. That mark was nine inches farther than the best mark on the squad all of last season. In the men's high jump, sophomore Carson Murray cleared 6-8 3/4 and sophomore Cole Jensen also made 6-6 3/4.
The accomplished Husky men's vaulters had off days by their standards, but Jax Thoirs still made 16-9 1/4 and Lev Marcus cleared 16-3 1/4 and bigger bars will certainly be coming.
Washington will be right back to work in two weeks, when it hosts the UW Invitational on Friday-Saturday, Jan. 29-30.

In the first meet of the NCAA indoor season, the UCLA track and field team had several strong performances in Flagstaff, Arizona. While numerous members of the team repeated as individual winners at this meet, such as sophomore Leon Powell in the 60-meter dash and junior Austin Hazel in the long jump, true freshman Rai Benjamin was the highlight of the competition.
One of the most highly touted recruits in the nation, freshman Rai Benjamin of Mt. Vernon, New York, began his collegiate career with the 200-meter dash. Being from upstate New York, the fastest indoor 400-meter sprinter in the nation at 46.59 seconds took time to get adjusted to the altitude conditions of Flagstaff.
“I heard it was 7,000 feet if I’m correct,” Benjamin said. “I’ve never run at that high of an altitude, so it was kind of hard for me adjusting physically in terms of breathing, but besides that I felt really good at the meet – I really wasn’t that nervous.”
Benjamin was close enough – Flagstaff’s elevation reaches just under 6,910. Despite the drastic change in surroundings, the freshman was able to not only run fast, but took first place with a time of 21.28, beating out junior James Fisher of Northern Arizona University and fellow UCLA athlete Powell.
“This weekend I got a good eyeball of Rai and what type of kid he is,” said UCLA sprints coach Darrell Smith. “He just about called his performance before the race. He told the whole squad – I feel like 21.1 today.”
Although Benjamin did not hit 21.1, the rookie was very close and will look to improve his times at the Razorback Invitational on Jan. 29 in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
“The Razorback Invitational will definitely be a major, major, major meet for me,” Benjamin said. “There’ll definitely be (Southeastern Conference) competition there, and the SEC is really competitive sprints-wise so I’m looking forward to going down there and showing them, ‘Hey the Pac-12 is here, and we’re not that far behind you.’”
Senior Nicholas Scarvelis opened his season with a personal best in the shot put, throwing 66 feet, 9.75 inches. The reigning Pac-12 champion and last season’s national qualifier moved to fifth all-time on the UCLA records list, surpassing five others, including his own coach, former Bruin John Frazier.
On the women’s side, the Bruins also swept the 200-meter dash. Sophomore Jessie Maduka won the event for the second year in a row and teammates Jelvon Butler and Schuyler Moore followed in second and third. Redshirt junior Torie Owers took first in the shot put with a throw of 54-10.
Continuing a strong tradition of success in the distance and field events, UCLA took places two through six in the mile and the top two spots in high jump, led by junior Cody Crampton and sophomore Sage Stone – clearing 6-10.75 and 6-8.75 respectively.
Only Bruins competing in the heptathlon and pentathlon will travel to next week’s DeLoss Dodds Invitational in Manhattan, Kansas, which is a multi-events-only meet.
Sophomore Steele Wasik will open his decathlon season in Kansas after placing second in the 60-meter hurdles over the weekend. Despite the early success, the team continues to focus on its long-term goals.
“It’s all about progression and continuing it onto the next week,” Powell said. “I’d like to win Pac-12s as a team together – that’s our goal.”

Track and Field Welcomes 14 to 2016 Class

Bookmark and Share


STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State track and field and cross country teams signed 13 high school seniors and one Division II transfer to their incoming class of 2016, including two international runners and six state champions, the program announced Monday.

The most decorated athletes of the Cowboy signing class are both international students. Elliot Bowker of the United Kingdom and Heinrich van Niekerk from South Africa, bring two national titles and IAAF competition experience to Stillwater. Both Bowker and van Niekerk are joining the Cowboys this January as early enrollees.

Bowker, of Cheshire, England, is a two-time national runner-up in the 3,000-meter run, having finished second in the competition in each of the past two years. In 2015, Bowker represented Great Britain as a member of the Junior team at the 2015 IAAF World Cross Country Championships where he finished 72nd and was the third highest finishing member of the British team.

Hailing from south of the Equator, van Niekerk is a two-time South African 800-meter champion. A native of Pretoria, van Niekerk qualified for the 2014 IAAF World Junior Championships with a personal best 1:50.33 in the 800, but did not run.

Dustan Davidson and Alec Haines made the early commitment to OSU from the state of Missouri. Davidson, from St. Louis, was the 2015 runner-up in the 5A 800-meter run and took fourth place in the 1500-meter run in the same season. Haines took the 5A 1500-meter title in 2015 and finished fifth at the state cross country meet for Lafayette high school.

The state of Colorado has been good to OSU over the years, producing three All-Americans in Kaela Edwards, Jennifer Celis and Brandon Singleton on the 2015 roster. Ben Butler from Highlands Ranch looks to keep that trend going as he joins the Cowboys this fall. Butler won back-to-back cross country state titles in class 3A, and also broke the Colorado state meet record en route to claiming his second cross country title. His talent did not go unnoticed by the USATF and Butler was selected to compete in the World Junior Mountain Running Championships, where Team USA finished second, and he took ninth overall.

The Cowboys also signed the 2015 class 5A cross country champion from the state of Oklahoma in Eugene Grayson of Glenpool. Grayson finished third during his junior season in the 800-meter run and was runner-up in the 1600, helping Glenpool high school take third place at the state meet. He also won the 1500-meter title at the 2015 USATF Junior Olympics.  

On the women's side, the Cowgirls middle-distance runners have added two state champions in Sinclaire Johnson and Haley Geissler, and a two-time competitor in the U.S. Junior Championships in Michelle Magnani.

Johnson is a four-time state champion from Orlando, Florida. She has won back-to-back 800-and 1600-meter titles, and she holds a Florida state meet record in the 800, with a personal best 2:08.71 from her junior season. She is now ranked as the top female 800-meter runner in the state going into her senior season. Besides being an accomplished middle-distance runner, Johnson has made a name for herself on the cross country course, too, following a runner-up finish at the state meet in 2014.

Owasso high school senior Geissler is an all-around competitor as well. Outside of winning the 800-meter run at the 2015 state meet, she ran with the cross country team and helped them to a third place finish last fall. Although she hasn't won the 1600-meter title, finishing fourth and sixth at the past two 6A championship races, Geissler has the Owasso high school record in the event.

Magnani competed at the 2015 U.S. Junior National Championships in two events as a rising senior from Moorpark, California. She finished 10th in the 800-meter run and eighth in the 1,500-meter run. Magnani was named as the Ventura County Cross Country and Track and Field Coaches Association's Runner of the Year in the cross country season for her stellar season that produced the No. 6 three-mile time in the state.

The promising Cowgirl sprinters also got stronger with two highly-touted additions.

Andi Kuehnlein has less than two years of experience on the track but has already put up one of the top times in the nation in the hurdles. She finished as the runner-up at the 2015 Class 5 Championships in the 300-meter hurdles, won the 4X200-meter relay and finished second 4X400-meter relay final. Kuehnlein's 400-meter hurdles time of 59.50 is the No. 5 time in the nation among high school females. An accomplished high jumper as well, Kuehnlein finished seventh at the state championships after winning the district crown.

DeSoto high school's Kira White is one of the country's top young sprinters. She finished second at the Texas 6A state meet in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.48 last year as a junior. Before the state championships, White won the 6A regional and finished no lower than fifth at each competition during the school year. On the national level, White took ninth at the USATF Junior Olympics this summer with an 11.75 in the 100. On the indoor track, White's time of 7.59 in the 60-meter dash is currently one of the top times in the nation.

First year throws coach Lucais Mackay has added to his arsenal of talent with three new signings. Jocelen Ruth and Zach Andrew both come to OSU from high schools, while Megan Honas will transfer into the program from Ft. Hays State.

Ruth is ranked statewide and nationally in five events, including the javelin and shot put where she owns top-20 positions. She finished second in the Pennsylvania class 3A state meet in both the shot put and discus, and finished fourth in the javelin all in 2015. On the national level, Ruth finished 15th in the shot put, 12th in the discus, 28th in the hammer throw and eighth in the javelin all at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals.

For the Cowboys, Andrew comes to OSU having become one of the country's top throwing prospects in a little less than a year. After finishing his sophomore campaign with 18th-place and 13th-place finishes in the shot put and discus throw, respectively, Andrew had a colossal junior season that ended with him finishing second in the discus and fourth in the shot put at the Idaho 4A Championships. He surpassed his sophomore best by more than 20 feet in the discus and broke his shot put record by 10 feet in his junior year.

Honas, a Division II transfer, already has an All-America honor under her belt after finishing ninth at the NCAA DII Championships last spring. With her addition, she joins OSU record-holder Chase Ealey as the only other All-American in the current Cowgirl throws program.

With these 14 student athletes already committed, and two joining the team this semester, the 2016 OSU track and field and cross country class is shaping up to be one of the strongest and most well-rounded yet. To keep up with with the new Cowboys and Cowgirls as well as the rest of the team during the 2015-16 season, follow @run4okstate on Twitter and Instagram.

UC’s Blaut Selected American’s Female Field Athlete of the Week
 
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Loretta Blaut, a member of the University of Cincinnati track and field program, was selected as the American Athletic Conference’s Female Field Athlete of the Week, it was announced today. Blaut was selected following an impressive opening weekend at the Kentucky Invitational in Lexington, Ky.
 
In her first collegiate indoor meet, Blaut (Cincinnati, Ohio/Seton HS) soared to victory in the women’s high jump competition, clearing 1.86m (6-01.25) for the win. Heading into her first indoor campaign, Blaut carried a collegiate personal best of 1.78m (5-10.00), which she recorded outdoors at the Kentucky Relays this past spring.
 
Stepping onto the indoor surface for the first time for the Bearcats, Blaut cleared her first three bars on the first attempt before winning the competition on her second attempt at 1.78m. From there, she bettered her collegiate best over the next three bars, clearing 1.81m (second attempt), 1.84m (first attempt) and 1.86m (third attempt) before bowing out at 1.88m. Had she cleared the final height, she would have taken over the program’s indoor record, which is currently 1.87m.
 
Currently, Blaut’s clearance in Lexington has her ranked highly on three different lists, including the top mark among conference competitors, bettering the second-best clearance by 3.25”. She also stands third overall in the NCAA - 1cm off the leaders (1.87m) - and is tied for 13th-best in the world.
 
Blaut and the Bearcats return to action this Friday and Saturday (January 22-23) at the Gladstein Invitational, hosted by Indiana University, inside the Gladstein Fieldhouse in Bloomington.

WASHINGTON - Georgetown track & field All-American Andrea Keklak (Sudbury, Mass./Lincoln-Sudbury/Princeton) set a new school record in the 1,000-meter run today at the Nittany Lion Challenge, hosted by Penn State at the Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track. Keklak’s record time highlighted the No. 10 GU women’s performances while the No. 22 Georgetown men put up a slew of strong times of their own. Keklak clocked 2:42.76 to win the women’s 1,000-meter run, leading a quartet of current and former Hoyas among the top six. Keklak’s time is currently the fastest from any runner in the BIG EAST Conference. Former Hoya Rachel Schneider finished second with a time of 2:42.86 and is also the previous 1,000m record holder (2:43.34, 2013). Another Hoya alum, Chelsea Cox, finished fourth with a time of 2:43.59 while All-American Katrina Coogan (Exeter, N.H./Phillips Exeter Academy) placed fifth (2:44.76). Also winning her event, Kennedy Weisner (St. Mary’s, Pa./Elk County Catholic) ran 9:30.20 to win the women’s 3,000-meter run, leading a trio of runners for the Blue & Gray among the top five. Piper Donaghu (Portland, Ore./Grant) and Sarah Cotton (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) finished third (9:35.80) and fifth (9:44.09), respectively. Emma Keenan (Gwynedd Valley, Pa./Gwynedd-Mercy Academy) managed a time of 1:31.64 to finish second in the women’s 600-meter run and former Hoya Becca DeLoache placed fourth (1:32.29).
 

 

In the women’s mile, Audrey Belf (Birmingham, Mich./Earnest W. Seaholm) finished second with a time of 4:46.26, besting her time from just one week ago by more than five seconds. Belf was the first of five GU runners among the top eight and Heather Martin (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius) finished fourth (4:49.27), the only other Hoya athlete to break 4:50. All-American Joe White (Clifton, N.J./DePaul Catholic) ran a personal best to place third in the men’s 1,000-meter run with a time of 2:23.24, followed by Spencer Brown (Wilton, Conn./Wilton) in fourth (2:23.27). In the men’s 600-meter run, All-American Ahmed Bile (Annandale, Va./Annandale) was the first of six Hoyas among the top 10, as All-American Cole Williams (San Francisco, Calif./Occidental College) finished fourth (1:19.76) and was the only other Hoya to break 1:20.John Murray (Shrewsbury, Mass./Shrewsbury) finished third in the men’s mile, clocking 4:08.67. The nationally-ranked Georgetown track & field program will return to the same track in two weeks for the Penn State National Invitational, held January 29-30.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – A record-breaking performance by sophomore thrower Raven Saunders led the way for the Ole Miss Rebels at the Kentucky Invitational this weekend.

Already a two-time NCAA shot put champion as a freshman at Southern Illinois last year, Saunders was up to the task of setting new standards in her second meet as a member of the No. 25 Rebels. Her personal-best effort of 18.67m/61-3 on Saturday is the best in the world this year and improves her status as the No. 4 women’s shot putter in NCAA history.

Saunders broke her own Ole Miss record (by two-and-a-half feet) and eclipsed the Kentucky Invitational meet record and the Nutter Field House record. She became the first Rebel, male or female, to ever break the 60-foot mark in the shot put. The previous school record before Saunders’ arrival in Oxford was 52-8.25 by Betty Williams in 2010.

“Anytime you break a record it’s a great day, and Raven had a great day,” said head coach Connie Price-Smith, who led her team to success against such competition as No. 8 Kentucky, No. 17 Miami, Louisville, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Southern Illinois and others. “There is still room for improvement, and she will keep working hard every day to throw farther and farther.”

This followed Saunders’ Friday performance in the weight throw when she posted another personal best with a distance of 19.61m/64-4 that ranks her third in school history and top 20 in the nation this year.

Fellow sophomore and All-American Lindsey Murray claimed the women’s pole vault title in Lexington with a clearance of 4.01m/13-1.75. She ranks 25th in the country in the young season.

All-American senior Khadijah Suleman led the way among the Rebels sprinters with a personal-best 7.48 to place third in the 60-meter dash and a time of 24.57 to place eighth in the 200.

Several women had career days in the middle distances, as Maddy Nikkel and Elisabeth Gaillet clocked personal bests of 5:00.74 and 5:01.61 in the mile to finish third and fifth, respectively. Leanne Zimmer was runner-up in the 800 meters in 2:12.04, followed by Maddie McHugh in fourth at 2:16.21.

The Ole Miss men, competing without their standout group of distance runners, still produced some strong results among the throwers and jumpers, in particular.

Sophomore Dempsey McGuigan achieved a personal-best weight throw of 19.32m/63-4.75 on Friday night. That moved him up to No. 2 in school history in his second year with the program.

Senior Branden Greene took the weekend off from his normal activities as one of the nation’s best high jumpers to focus solely on the long jump, at which he placed fourth with a nice leap of 7.23m/23-8.75.

Senior Darryl Brown matched his season-best 200-meter time of 21.55 from the season opener to place fourth on Saturday. He also finished sixth in the 60 with a time of 6.91 in the final after a 6.90 in the prelims.

“I thought the meet went well,” Price-Smith said. “It’s early and we still have work to do, but it was nice to see that most of our athletes did the training over break that they were supposed to.”

Ole Miss will return to action next weekend at the Conference Clash in Birmingham, Alabama, which will feature a who’s who among collegiate track & field programs such as SEC schools Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee and non-SEC powers Arizona, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, USC and Texas.

L. Weeks’ Vault Highlights Home Opener

BY joy Ekema-Agbaw
January 15, 2016

ArkInv_results
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.– The No. 1 Arkansas women’s track and field team started the day strong at their home opener with a top-three sweep in the women’s high jump. The Razorbacks continued their dominance in the vertical jumps placing four vaulters in the top five of the pole vault.
Freshman Lexi Weeks posted an SEC and NCAA leading performance in the pole vault clearing a height of 4.50m/14-9 to win the event by almost a foot. Weeks and her sister Tori, who cleared 4.20m/13-9.25 to finish second, are sitting at the top of the leaderboard among conference and national competitors.
All-American multi-events duo Taliyah Brooks and Alex Gochenour cruised to a first and second place finish in the high jump respectively. Brooks took the spot with a clearance of 1.75m/5-8.75m. Freshman Carmen Sitz rounded out the top three finishing third for the Razorbacks with a jump of 1.70m/5-7 in her collegiate debut.
Brooks returned to action on the track leading five Razorbacks into the finals of the 60-meter hurdle including Leigha Brown, Gochenour, Kelsey Herman and Payton Stumbaugh. Brooks and Stumbaugh went head to head in the finals pushing each other to new PRs and SEC leading times of 8.22 and 8.25 respectively.
Middletown, Ohio native Micah Dennis blew away competition in the shot put with a mark of 14.27m/46-10. Dennis’ throw was over 10 feet further than the runner-up from Tulsa who marked 10.79m/35-5.
Junior Daina Harper raced to a second place finish in the 400-meter dash. Harper, who was a member of the 2015 NCAA indoor 4×400-meter relay runner-up team crossed the line in 55.31. Brianna Swinton also claimed a spot in the top five as she placed fourth with her time of 56.59.
Oregon transfer Nikki Hiltz was the top collegiate finisher in the 1,000-meter run in 2:45.94. Hiltz was led out by former Arkansas All-Americans Stephanie Brown and Chrishuna Williams who placed first and second respectively.
Arkansas collected more solid performances in the middle distance events as four Razorbacks split the top two places in the 800-meter run and the mile. Jessica Kamilos and Kailee Sawyer put forth strong efforts at 800 meters while Regan Ward and Annika Sisson dominated the mile as the only two sub-5:00 performers. Sisson also finished third earlier in the day in the 600-meter run behind teammate Ceara Watson who won the event in 1:32.72.
Two-time NCAA indoor runner-up Taylor Ellis-Watson kicked off her season with a win at 200 meters in 23.39. Oklahoma transfer Stumbaugh continued her strong day finishing just behind Ellis-Watson in 23.79.
The Razorbacks capped their opening night with a victory in the 4×400-meter relay over Texas Tech. Harper led off for the group providing a strong lead for Brooks and Sawyer to capitalize on. Gochenour brought home the win crossing the finish in 3:43.36.
Arkansas will split up next weekend for competition at the New Mexico Invitational and Gladstein Invitational (Indiana) on Jan. 23-24.

    NEW ORLEANS – Oregon sophomore Raevyn Rogers was named the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division I women’s athlete of the week, Tuesday, after a record-breaking 600 over the weekend.
    Rogers ran a blistering 1:26.34 over 600 meters at the Washington Invitational – faster than any collegian in history has run over that distance and the second-fastest only to Alysia Montano in US indoor history on all tracks. Because the time was run on Washington’s oversized track, the USTFCCCA will not recognize it as a collegiate record, but that does not make the feat any less impressive. She surpassed Delisa Floyd’s record of 1:26.56A from 1981 by nearly a quarter of a second.
    The race was Rogers’ 2016 debut after a remarkable 2015 season where she won the NCAA 800-Meter Outdoor title while becoming the fourth collegiate woman to break the two-minute barrier.

    NEW ORLEANS — For the second consecutive weekend, student-athletes in the NCAA and NJCAA continued their torrid pace during the indoor track & field season.
    The following athletes, however, were the best of the best from this past weekend and were named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Athletes of the Week on Tuesday — Texas A&M’s Donavan Brazier (NCAA Division I Men), Oregon’s Raevyn Rogers (NCAA Division I Women), Western State’s Noah Zorsky (NCAA Division II Men), Winona State’s Kaitlyn Long (NCAA Division II Women), UW-Whitewater’s Parker Witt (NCAA Division III Men), UW-Stout’s Lydia Meier (NCAA Division III Women), Hinds Community College’s Corrieon Mosby (NJCAA Men) and Monroe College’s Sakiya Deonoon (NJCAA Women).
    Find out more about each of these runners by clicking their names or scrolling below.
    National Athlete of the Week is an award selected and presented by the USTFCCCA Communications Staff at the beginning of each week to six collegiate indoor track & field athletes (male and female for each of the three NCAA divisions).
    Nominations are open to the public. Coaches and sports information directors are encouraged to nominate their student-athletes; as are student-athletes, their families and friends, and fans of their programs.
    The award seeks to highlight not only the very best times, marks and scores on a week-to-week basis, but also performances that were significant on the national landscape and/or the latest in a series of strong outings. Quality of competition, suspenseful finishes and other factors will also play a role in the decision.

    NCAA DIVISION I MEN — Donavan Brazier, Texas A&M

    Freshman | Grand Rapids, Michigan
    Mid-Distance
    Texas A&M freshman Donavan Brazier said his coaches wanted him to clock a time of “1:47 or better” in his collegiate debut this past weekend in the 800 meters.
    Well, Brazier must have really liked that “or better” part.
    Brazier scorched the field at the Texas A&M 11-Team Invitational on his way to a time of 1:45.93. Not only did it make Brazier the fifth fastest collegian in history indoors, it obliterated the previous 34-year-old American Junior Record by two seconds.
    All told, it ended up as a more than five-second win for the Michigan native.

    NCAA DIVISION I WOMEN – Raevyn Rogers, Oregon

    Sophomore | Middle Distance
    Houston, Texas
    After a quiet frosh indoor campaign in 2015, Raevyn Rogers put the NCAA on notice outdoors with an all-time great performance to win the NCAA title at 800 meters. After just one race in 2016, it’s already abundantly clear that this year’s indoor season will be anything but quiet.
    She ran a blistering 1:26.34 over 600 meters at the Washington Invitational – faster than any collegian in history has run over that distance and the second-fastest only to Alysia Montano in US indoor history on all tracks. Technically speaking, the mark isn’t a collegiate record since it was run on Washington’s oversized track, but that doesn’t make the performance any less impressive. She surpassed Delisa Floyd’s record of 1:26.56A from 1981 by nearly a quarter of a second.
    All signs point to Rogers remaining a strong national contender when she adds in those extra 200 meters later this season.

    NCAA DIVISION II MEN – Noah Zorsky, Western State

    Junior | Pole Vault
    Amarillo, Texas
    Two meets, two consecutive indoor pole vault PRs, and one national DII lead. Certainly not a bad start to the 2015-16 campaign for Western State junior Noah Zorsky. Competing at home in “The Shootout” against in-state rivals CSU-Pueblo and Colorado Mesa, Zorsky cleared 5.20m (17-0¾) on his second attempt to win the vault by nearly two feet over his nearest competitor.
    In doing so, he also became the first DII man in 2016 above the 17-foot barrier – a mark he also surpassed for the first time indoors in his career.
    He opened his season in December at Colorado Mines with a then-indoor PR 5.15m (16-10¾).

    NCAA DIVISION II WOMEN – Kaitlyn Long, Winona State

    Sophomore | Throws
    Cottage Grove, Wisconsin
    No woman in DII history has ever thrown as far as Kaitlyn Long did at the Saint Mary’s Early Birdinal on Saturday. And it’s not even close.
    The reigning national champion – just a sophomore, mind you – unleashed a gigantic 22.25m (73-0) heave on her sixth and final attempt to crush the previous record of 21.50m (70-6½) set by Grand Valley State’s Sam Lockhart at the 2013 GLIAC Championships in February. She came close to Lockhart’s record on her third throw with a mark of 21.31m. For context, Lockhart threw 20.46m (67-1½) on this same weekend in 2013.
    Long now has thrown the weight implement 12 times in 2016 – any of those marks would give her the national DII lead. She also sits atop the 2016 all-college leaderboard by nearly a meter (almost exactly three feet) over Kansas’ Daina Levy.

    NCAA DIVISION III MEN — Parker Witt, UW-Whitewater

    Sophomore | Appleton, Wisconsin
    Sprints
    Never once did UW-Whitewater sophomore Parker Witt dip below seven seconds in the 60 meters or 22.78 in the 200 meters as a freshman last indoor season. Witt accomplished both this past weekend at the Karl Schlender Invitational and put himself at or near the top of the NCAA Division III National Descending Order List.
    Witt won the 60 in 6.87, beating several Division I athletes. That time put him alone in second on the NDOL in the event (.09 behind the leader).
    He then doubled up in the 200, clocking 22.40 in a second-place effort. That also put him second on the NDOL, .04 seconds behind the national leader.

    NCAA DIVISION III WOMEN — Lydia Meier, UW-Stout

    Junior | Middleton, Wisconsin
    Throws
    UW-Stout junior Lydia Meier had a smashing debut to her junior year.
    With a long offseason behind her, Meier crushed the UW-Stout school record in the weight throw with a hurl of 18.11m (59-5) at the UW-Stout Alumni Dual. It also set a personal best for Meier, eclipsing her previous heave by more than three inches.
    To compare: At this meet last season, Meier tossed the weight 15.13m (49-7.75).

    NJCAA MEN — Corrieon Mosby, Hinds Community College

    Freshman | Natchitoches, Louisiana
    Sprints
    Hinds Community College freshman Corrieon Mosby surged to the top of the NJCAA National Descending Order List in the 200 meters thanks to a time of 21.46 at the UAB Vulcan Invitational. That was good enough to place Mosby third in a crowded field.
    Then later in the meet, Mosby anchored the winning 4×400 relay team.

    NJCAA WOMEN — Zakiya Denoon, Monroe College

    Freshman | Bronx, New York
    Sprints
    Monroe College freshman Zakiya Denoon took her spot atop the NJCAA National Descending Order List in the 60 meters and 200 meters this past weekend and qualified for the NJCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in the process.
    Denoon set a school record in the 60 (7.39) and placed second in a final with three professional athletes and two Division I athletes. Not too long after, Denoon won the 200 with a time of 24.10.
