Feb 19, 2020 | Track & Field
OMAHA, Neb. – The Omaha track & field team will compete for the last time before the Summit League Championships on Friday, Feb. 21, when it takes part in the Nebraska Tune-Up.
The meet begins at noon at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln.
The Mavericks are looking to build on another weekend of lifetime bests earned at the SDSU Indoor Classic at South Dakota State on Feb. 14-15.
Freshman Carrie Simonson posted a lifetime best time of 25.79 in the 200 meters. It was a team season-best and good for ninth place. The time was nearly a half-second better than her previous PR.
Brekk Flax put up a lifetime best mark of 26.04, and Scarlett Hill was close behind with a lifetime best of 26.23. Jaycee Schettler and Vanessa Gunderson also ran lifetime-best times of 26.51 and 29.07, respectively.
Also in the sprints, Flax tied her 60-meter lifetime best time of 7.81, good for fourth place in the finals. Simonson had a lifetime best time of 7.91 during the preliminary rounds but did not qualify for the final.
In the distances, Anita Jenkins led a group of four Mavericks in the mile with a time of 5:18.17, a little more than four seconds off her lifetime best. She finished 12th. Paige Blackford was 16th in a lifetime best time of 5:22.42, her third PR of the season. Maya Nachtigal finished 20th with a lifetime best time of 5:25.25. Renata Valquier Chavez rounded out the field for the Mavericks, posting a season-best time of 5:26.97 that was more than 14 seconds faster than her previous time.
In the 5,000 meters on Friday, the Mavericks got a pair of lifetime bests. Ivanna Uribe finished 16th in a time of 18:25.45, more than 20 seconds faster than her previous best. Heidi Hall was right behind in 18th with a lifetime best time of 18:34.37, more than a nine-second improvement on her previous PR.
The Summit League Championships will take place on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 28-29, at Fort Wayne, Ind.
