NORWALK, Calif. - Senior thrower Heather Minssen continued her string of strong performances as the UNO track and field team took part in the Beach Invitational hosted by Long Beach State on Saturday.
Minssen threw 47-9 1/4 in the shot put, less than two feet off her school record set two weeks ago. She also posted a throw of 151-3 in the discus, less than two feet off her personal best which she threw just one day earlier at the Bryan Clay Invitational at Asuza Pacific.
Nkeiruka Domike, competing unattached, posted a meet record of 42-9 3/4 in the triple jump.
Closer to home, the Mavericks took part in the Concorida Invitational in Seward. Kathie-Lee Laidley finished in a four-way tie for second in the high jump with a leap of 5-6, a national qualifying mark. Lianne McNaughton took fifth in the shot put with a mark of 44-8.
