FARGO, N.D. – While the size of the Lyle Hokenson Classic was small, the results for the University of Mary women's outdoor track & field team were big. Competing against primarily the two NCAA Division I schools in the state, the Marauders posted five national provisional qualifying marks and won four events in the final weekend prior to the conference championships.
Right out of the chute the Marauders quartet of
Tonie Pandohie,
Faith Kjelstrup,
Cassandra Jones and
Kathryn Stewart won the 4x100 meter relay in a provisional qualifying mark of 46.16 seconds.
Stewart returned later and won the 100 meter dash in a provo time of 11.82 seconds.
Jones also posted a second provo mark, blazing through the 400 meter dash with a clocking of 55.69 seconds.
In the 800 meter run,
Brienna Lynch covered the distance in a provo time of 2:08.79.
Continuing her outstanding season in the jumps, junior
Danylle Kurywchak won both the triple jump and the long jump. She sailed 5.73 meters for the win in the long jump and traveled a provisional qualifying distance of 12.32 in the triple jump.
Part of the Marauders squad will compete at the MSU Moorhead Ron Masanz Open on Saturday, May 2, before Mary attempts to win a fourth straight Northern Sun outdoor championship on May 8-9.
