Mavericks Visit Nebraska This Week
May 3, 2019 | Track & Field
OMAHA, Neb. – The Omaha track & field will wrap up pre-championship action this weekend, competing in the Nebraska Invitational on Saturday, May 4.
Competition begins with field events at 10 a.m. from the Ed Weir Track in Lincoln. It is the Mavericks' last meet before the Summit League Championship.
The Mavericks are coming off a host of lifetime bests last week in Iowa. Freshman Heidi Hall led the way. Running in the 5,000 meters at the Kip Janvrin Open at Simpson College, Hall ran a time of 17:40.90 to finishing second. It was 31 seconds faster than her previous best and the fourth-fastest 5,000 meter time in school history.
Also in the 5,000, Annie Catania (18:53.50), Ivanna Uribe (19:08.78) and Emily Robles (19:31.62) all ran lifetime bests.
The avalanche of PR's continued in the sprints. Erinoelle Clifton posted a lifetime best of 25.83 in the 200 meters, the Mavericks' fastest time in the event this season. Brekk Flax was right behind with a time of 25.87, also a personal best. Sophia Kirwan (26.18) and Ana Bellinghausen (26.59) joined the parade of top times in the event.
Flax tied her lifetime best in the 100 meters, posting a time of 12.44 which was good for fourth. Bellinghausen also had a PR with a time of 12.88.
In the relays, the Mavericks also posted season-best times. The team of Clifton, Scarlett Hill, Kirwan and Flax won the 4x100 meter relay with a time of 48.55.
In the 4x400 relay, the Mavericks' quartet of Hill, Kirwan, Daylee Olson and Clifton clocked a time of 4:03.12.
Competing in the Drake Relays on Thursday, Emily Johnson narrowly missed resetting her own school record in the 5,000 meters, running a time of 16:59.80 to finish third. She was a little less than three seconds from breaking the record she set the previous week in California.
The Summit League Championships will be held on Wednesday-Friday, May 8-10 in Macomb, Ill.
