Hectic weekend features meets in three different states for Marauders track & field

BISMARCK, ND – A hectic week of competition faces the University of Mary men's and women's track & field teams as the Marauders are quickly closing in on the championship season. The Marauders will have scholar-athletes competing in at least four different meets over the next three days.

UMary has competitors at the Dickinson State University Blue Hawk Games in Dickinson, ND, and the Drake Relays in Des Moines, IA, on Thursday, April 28.

On Friday, April 29, the Marauders compete for the second day at the Drake Relays and take on the challenge of the Grand View University Vikings Classic, all in Des Moines.

The weekend wraps up at the Mount Marty Open in Yankton, SD, on April 30.

Last week the Marauders sent a contingent to the Oregon Relays. Hosted by the University of Oregon in Eugene, OR, at Hayward Field, one of the best track & field facilities in the world, a pair of Marauders posted NCAA qualifying marks. Elizabeth Acheson ran the 800 in 2:09.12 and ranks 10^th in NCAA Division II. Taylor Hestekin finished the 1500 in 4:13.15 and ranks 33^rd.

At the Dewey Donat Classic in Aberdeen, SD, Antonia Genet won the high jump with an NCAA qualifying mark of 1.70. She ranks 20^th in the nation.

On the men's side, Drew Olson claimed second in the 100 and fourth in the 200 at the Donat Classic. Dillan Kovash (pole vault), Hayden Von Wald (long jump) and Jesse Hatler (triple jump) all claimed third place finishes on a windy day.

The Marauders have one more week of competition after this weekend as the NSIC championships are slated for April 12-14.
