Chadron State hosted the Don Holst Twilight Track and Field Meet Friday, with a showcase of event wins and broken records. At the end of the day, the Chadron State women’s team set six meet records, three arena records, and one CSC school record.

Stachia Reuwsaat, sophomore of Rapid City, South Dakota, broke the 60-meter record with a 7.79 second run, and set the long jump record at 20-3 3/4, breaking her own meet record set last year at 19-6. Both were record scores for the meet and the NPAC.

Tessa Gorsuch, another sophomore of Rapid City, South Dakota, ran the 60 hurdles in 8.67, which is now the meet, arena, and school record. Gorsuch won her event with a time of 8.78 in the finals.

The next broken record came from Tiffany Thomas, junior of Kingston, Jamaica. Thomas ran the 400 in 58.39, coming close to the CSC record of 58.03 that she set earlier this year. Thomas was also part of the 4×400 team that set the meet record to 4:00:14. The team was combined of Thomas; Kelsy Wood, sophomore of Hemingford; Rochelle Nelson, senior of Kingston, Jamaica; and Shelby Bozner, junior of Rock Springs, Wyoming.

The women’s team wasn’t only setting records, they were also winning events. Nikki Glasson, junior of Wheatland, Wyoming, won the 200 with a time of 26.54, and Mel Herl, junior of Eaton, Colorado, won the weight throw at 58-5 3/4. Miranda Karn, sophomore of Holdrege, won the 800 with a time of 2:27.46.

“I think hitting such good marks at the beginning of the season means our end-of-the-season marks will be outstanding,” Karn said.

She also said she gives credit of the team’s success to more team-building and being more supportive of each other than in the past.

The men’s team did not break any records, but won plenty of events and continue to build momentum.

Chris Cutcher, sophomore of Colorado Springs, Colorado, won three individual events on Friday. Cutcher won the 200 in 22.99, the 60 high-hurdles in 8.24, and the triple jump at 45-7. Cutcher ran on the winning 4×400 relay team, alongside Lane Higgins, freshman of Highlands Ranch, Colorado; Jazz Bozner, senior of Rock Springs, Wyoming; and Martin Muriel, junior of Phoenix, Arizona.

Muriel also won the 400 with a time of 50.46.

The Eagle’s other event winners were Cody Davis, sophomore of Fort Morgan, Colorado, in the 800 at 2:04.47, and Skyler Hoopes, senior of Lusk, Wyoming, who pole vaulted at 15-3 1/2.

The Eagles now set their sights on the Birds and Bees Meet in Gillete, Wyoming, Friday and Saturday.
