Guest Author

The CSC track and field teams participated in the highly competitive SDSU Indoor Classic this past weekend. The meet was highly competitive including multiple NCAA Division I teams and over 1,400 athletes. The Eagles performed well despite the difficult competition. The men’s and women’s teams combined for eight individual top 10 performances.
The weight throw was a strong point, as usual, for the Eagles. Ashlyn Hanson, senior of Seward placed fourth in the event with a throw of 59 feet, 11 inches. In fifth place was Ashton Hallsted, sophomore of Casper, Wyoming, 9 ½ inches behind her teammate. On the men’s side Cory Martens, junior of Newton, Kansas finished fourth with a toss of 61 feet, 2 ¾ inches. The Eagles hope to continue their success in the weight throw into the RMAC Championships.
The long jump and triple jump were also strong events for the Eagles. Isaac Grimes, freshman of Rancho Verde, California, continued his remarkable debut season. Grimes placed third in the triple jump and fifth in the long jump. Maddie Brashears, junior of Fort Morgan, Colorado, finished sixth in women’s long jump with a leap of 17 feet, 7 inches.
The 4×400-meter relay provided points for both the men’s and women’s teams. The men’s team placed eighth with a time of 3:18.92. The women’s team also finished eighth with a time of 3:56.24.
On the track, the Eagle men were led by Javan Lanier, sophomore of Aurora, Colorado. Lanier’s time of 6.91 in the finals was good for fourth place. His time of 6.88 in the semifinals was the third best in the RMAC this season.
In the distance events Riley Howard, sophomore of Anchorage, Alaska paced the Eagles. Howard ran a personal record time of 15:16.40 and placed 12th. The women’s distance runners were led by Alyse Henry, junior of Rock Springs, Wyoming. Henry placed 14th and 15th in the 3000-meter run and mile run respectively.
CSC’s team is looking to finish the season on a positive note. A portion of the team will travel to Spearfish, South Dakota this weekend to compete in the Stinger Open. The following weekend the Eagles will be in Golden, Colorado to compete in the RMAC Championship meet.
