Some of the team went down to Madison to warm up for Howard Wood. I would have liked have watched but I had class.

MADISON, S.D. -- Andrew Duitsman won a pair of events Monday, leading the South Dakota State University men's track and field team Monday at the DSU Invitational.

A junior from Oakdale, Minn., Duitsman claimed the 200-meter dash in 21.98 seconds, and cruised to victory in the 110-meter hurdles with a winning time of 14.65 seconds -- 1.35 seconds faster than his nearest competitor. Teammate Dan Winders placed second in the 200 meters, 22.73 seconds.

Also winning for the Jackrabbits were a pair of freshmen: hurdler Brandon Priebe and pole vaulter Calvin Cammack. Priebe clocked a winning time of 54.94 seconds inthe 400-meter hurdles, while Cammack cleared 14 feet, 6 inches in the pole vault. Fellow Jackrabbits Tyler Schiferl and Troy Beekman placed second and third with respective marks of 14 feet and 13 feet.

Camden Helder won a high jump title for the second consecutive meet, leaping 6-8 to win the event, three days after winning the high jump at the Kip Janvrin Open in Indianola, Iowa. Cameron Johnson contributed a second-place finish in the field events, as well, leaping 21-8.50.

A full Jackrabbit squad is slated to compete Friday and Saturday at the Howard Wood Dakota Relays in Sioux Falls.

Re: DSU Invitational

The SDSU women also won four titles down at Madison.

MADISON, S.D. -- A small contingent of South Dakota State women's track and field athletes combined to win four event titles Monday at the DSU Invitational.

The Jackrabbits were led by sophomore sprinter Laci Schurr and freshman Rachael Hakk, who each won an event title and posted a third-place finish in another. Schurr won the 100-meter dash in 12.79 seconds and placed third in the 200-meter dash, 26.82 seconds. Hakk added a victory in the long jump, 17 feet, 5 inches, and claimed third in the 100-meter hurdles, 15.65 seconds.

Other event winners for SDSU were Heather Wollman in the 400-meter dash, 56.86 seconds, and Kristi Mortenson in the pole vault. Mortenson led a Jackrabbit sweep of the top three spots in the vault, clearing 11 feet. Kallie Baum and Brittany Garner each posted top marks of 10 feet to tie for second place.
