The Wittenberg University men's and women's indoor track and
field teams put together another strong weekend of individual
performances at a pair of meets hosted by the University of
Findlay. The Tigers competed in an open competition on Friday and
then braved the nasty weather conditions on Saturday to go against
a strong field in the All-Ohio Championships.
Junior Kristen Mumper (Cincinnati, Ohio/Purcell
Marian) continued her assault on the Wittenberg record
books, breaking her own mark in the triple jump and joining
freshman Anna Finkelstein (Whitehall,
Mich./Reeths-Puffer), sophomore Marissa Davoll
(Cincinnati, Ohio/Anderson) and junior Kelly Zilli
(Dayton, Ohio/Kettering Alter) in establishing a new
standard in the 4x400-meter relay.
Skip Ivery
Along with those outstanding efforts, junior Nikki
Norcia (Brunswick, Ohio/Brunswick) turned in a
personal-best time in the 600 meter race and freshman Tracy
Butler (Ft. Wayne, Ind./Homestead) finished with a
personal-best time in the mile for the women.
On the men's side, the spotlight shone brightest upon junior
Skip Ivery (Columbus, Ohio/Groveport-Madison), who
remained unbeaten in the high hurdles this season despite competing
against several NCAA Division I and II teams on Saturday. Ivery won
the 60-meter hurdles in a personal-best time of 8.28 seconds. He
was named NCAC Men's Indoor Track and Field Sprints/Hurdles Athlete
of the Week for his performance.
Also of note, junior Joel Drake (Springfield,
Ohio/Shawnee) and Thomas Dillingham (Cincinnati,
Ohio/Princeton) had personal bests in the shot put.
