PROVO, Utah - The University of Utah Indoor Track and field team finished competition for the Brigham Young Cougar Indoor meet on Friday, Jan. 14. Held at the Smith Field House, the meet featured athletes from Utah, BYU, Utah State and Utah Valley State College. The field squad had a great meet, setting two school records and 13 personal records.
Utah dominated the women's shot put event; taking four of the top-five finishes. Senior Candice Workman-Ekberg led the team, taking gold with an impressive 49' 0.75" distance. Her performance is not only a new personal record for the Utah State transfer, but also an indoor school record. Junior AJ Roby finished third (41' 11.50"), newcomer Nicole Farnsworth finished fourth (41' 9.75") and sophomore Sarah Romig rounded of the top five (38' 11.00").
Sophomore Amada Feigt insured another successful season by finishing second in the long jump with 19" 8.25". Her performance marked Utah's second school record-setting effort of the day. Junior Nikki Mancinelli also finished second in her event. The Oklahoma City, Okla., native finished with a 5' 4.25" height in the long jump.
"I knew we were going to be better then we were last year," states Interim Co-Head Coach Tapio Kuusela. "But this was a little more than I expected. Our athletes are proving that we are in better shape this season. We are excited to have success in only our first meet of the year."
The Utah runners are competing at the Snake River Open in Pocatello, Idaho, later today. For complete results visit www.BYUTRACK.COM.
