Distance medley relay team sets record
LINCOLN, Neb. -- For the second time this season, the South Dakota State University women's distance medley relay team established a new school record as the Jackrabbits competed Saturday at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational.
The team of Becka Mansheim, Ashley Adams, Shannon Hattervig and Sheena Dauer clocked a record time of 12 minutes, 5.33 seconds, shattering the previous mark of 12:47.84 set by Hattervig, Kari Schaefer, Cortney Costello and Dauer in the season-opening MSU Alumni Open Jan. 15 in Mankato, Minn. The Jackrabbits finished second in the Saturday's race, 13 seconds behind Baylor (Texas).
Individually, Mansheim led the Jackrabbit women with a 12th-place finish in the mile run. A sophomore from Brookings, Mansheim won her heat with a time of 5:05.89, but finished 12th overall. Dauer was right behind in 13th at 5:05.98.
In men's competition, Jared Schwader was the top Jackrabbit finisher with a fifth-place effort in the shot put. Schwader's throw of 51 feet, 10 1/2 inches bettered his previous season best by more than a foot.
Ben Johnson reached the semifinals of the 60-meter hurdles, placing 12th overall in a time of 8.49 seconds.
The Jackrabbits return to action Friday at the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa.
