Throwers set records at BHSU invitational

The Chadron State track and field team participated in the Black Hills State Dave Little Invitational, Spearfish, S.D., on Saturday, where two Chadron State seniors set school records in throwing events.

Charith Kapukotuwa, senior of Chilaw, Sri-Lanka, won the 35-pound weight throw at 61-1 1/2. This distance beat the school record of 60-3 that he set in last year’s national championships. He also had a career-best mark in shot put, 55-4 3/4. He won the shot put competition with that throw. With that mark, he has qualified for nationals in March.

Alyssa Norton, senior of Rushville, also won the shot put with a mark of 48-6 1/2, which breaks the previous school record 48-1 3/4. Her best throw last year was 46-6.

Stachia Reuwsaat, freshman of Blackhawk, S.D., won the 60-meter dash in 7.89 seconds and the long jump at 18-7 3/4. This jump was one of six provisional qualifying marks for the national meet in March.

Karl McFarlane, senior of Montego Bay, Jamaica, in the 60-meter high hurdles, and Zerek Jones, sophomore of La Junta, Colo., in the 600-meter run, were the other winners for Chadron State at the invitational.

The Chadron State men won the 4×400 and the distance medley relays. The women finished first in distance medley race and placed second in the 4×400.
