TAMPA, Florida – Iowa State put up three top-10 ranked marks in school history in the second day of the USF Invite. ISU closes the outdoor opener with two event wins and three top 10 program performances.
With Betty Rosvold's first throw in the discus, the junior transfer from Nebraska made her ISU event debut memorable with the second-farthest throw in ISU history (179-11, 54.85m). That mark would hold as her best to place third.
Fresh off an NCAA Indoor Championships appearance one week ago, Rachel Joseph opened her outdoor campaign with a 52.21 to win the 400-meter. The time is an outdoor best to improve her mark at No. 2 in program history, drawing closer to the 1984 record of 51.84.
Kevin Sakson put up a big discus season-opening mark of 191-1 (58.24m), a personal record to move up to now rank No. 6 in ISU history. Sakson placed second in the event, while Blake Veenstra took 11th with 159-0 (48.48m) and multi-event athlete Kole Becker 20th with a PR of 126-4 (38.52m).
In 100m hurdles, Kiersten Fisher went out to an all-conditions best of 13.81(w) for 10th while Kailynn Gubbels placed 35th with 14.81(w). in 110m hurdles, Jack Latham also posted an all-conditions best of 14.28 to place 10th, while freshman Grayson Hartman took 18th with a wind-legal 14.63.
For the men in the 400m, freshman Calvin Curcija sprinted to a personal best of 48.19 for 11th place.
The Cyclones are back in action March 29-30 for the Stanford Invitational.
