MANHATTAN, Kan. – Freshman Stephanie Ahrens tied the school indoor high jump record in her first collegiate meet as the Omaha track & field team opened the season at the K-State Winter Invitational.
Ahrens, out of Lincoln Southwest High School, had a jump of 5-10 in her sixth jump of the day to tie Kathie-Lee Laidley's mark from 2011. She finished second in the event behind Rhizlane Siba of K-State who jumped 5-11 ¼.
Ahrens also took second in the triple jump with a mark of 36-02 ¼. Her fellow freshman Noni Henderson was third at 35-00 ¼ and two other freshmen, Emily Everitt (34-04 ¾) and Alexis Allgood (32-06 ¼) were fourth and fifth.
Henderson also took fifth in the long jump with a mark of 17-04. Nicole Liske was seventh at 16-03 ¾.
Another freshman made a good first impression on the track. Maddie Buller took third in the 60 meter hurdles with a time of 9.31.
The Mavericks placed three in the top eight of the 60 meter dash. Terri Armstrong took third in a time of 7.87 while Liske was seventh (8.15) and Tschida Johnson (8.35) was eighth.
Dual meet scores were calculated for all the participating teams. The Mavericks edged Oklahoma State, 50-48, while losing to host Kansas State, 95-37.
The Mavericks are off for more than a month. Their next meet is the Holiday Inn Invitational at Nebraska on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 16-17.
