FROM THE START LINE
The Women of Utah will send 20 participants to the Ken Shannon Last Chance Meet this weekend. Of the 20 participants, 12 will be from the distance side with eight coming from the sprints side of things. From the bunch, freshman Katarzyna Nowakowska will be competing in her first indoor meet ever while Kylie Hartnett makes her first indoor appearance this season in the 3000m race. Nowakowska is currently set to compete in the mile and 3000m.
Â
Utah will also have another familiar face out on the track with former All-American Emily Venters set to compete in the 5000m race against her Utes and the field.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
Utah's sprints team had a great showing at the Arkansas Qualifier last weekend with seven edits or new entries into the all-time record books – including a new school record and a record-tying mark. In her first time running the indoor 800m race, Josefine Eriksen broke the previous record held by Nellie Hammons (2:06.29) from March 6, 2004, with a time of 2:05.88.
Â
Harley Daniel nearly was just a step or two away from owning the 60m hurdles record all to herself after tying the all-time mark with Angela Kaplar (Feb. 12, 2011) with a mark of 8.56. Bailey Kealamakia narrowly edge out Eriksen (24.24) for second all-time in the 200m dash with a run of 24.23. Megan Rose moved up one spot in the 200m list into eighth with her mark of 24.85 to pass Jackie Martin (24.88 aa).
Â
Kealamakia also inserted herself into the all-time list in the 60m dash after posting a 7.72 – which tied with three other Utes for eighth all-time.
Â
Over in the jumps, Delaney Gates had a huge PR in the long jump, leaping a distance of 5.77m (18-11.25).
Â
UP NEXT
Should the Women of Utah not get anyone qualified for NCAA Indoor Championships (March 8-9) in Boston, it'll have some time to regroup and get ready for the start of the outdoor season – which is set to begin March 21-23 at the Aztec Invitational.
