The Jackrabbit men and women had impressive performances at the Vance Butler Invite hosted by Augustana in Sioux Falls, Friday. The meet had been set for Saturday but was moved up a day to avoid bad weather.
Considering the windy, cool, conditions, and the early date for the meet, this team did well. Here's the story on GoJacks.com: LINK.
Sara Ackman qualified for the NCAA Regional in the disc. She also won the shot. Ben Jasinski won the triple jump and was about six inches short of the Regional qualifying standard. [Last weekend he exceeded the Regional qualifying standard in the triple jump but, since there was no wind meter at that meet, it wasn't an official qualifier. It was reported today that he had one jump that was WAY out there but he scratched on the takeoff by about an inch...the guy has some real jumping ability!]
