Joseph Opens Season With Record at Bill Bergan Classic
01.16.2026 | Track and Field
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State set 10 top 10-ranked program performances at the Bill Bergan Invite, including Rachel Joseph taking down another school record to open her senior season.
Joseph took hold of her fourth individual school record in the 600-yard run, clocking 1:18.50 in her opener. Joseph took down teammate Makayla Clark's 2025 record of 1:18.55 on the way to setting or resetting an ISU record for her 17th time.
Joseph was one of four to set a top 10 program performance in the event as Emma Vorpagel, in her Iowa State debut, clocked 1:20.53 (No. 6 ISU). Jenna James finished right after in 1:20.75 (No. 7 ISU) while Camryn Hubbard went 1:20.80 (No. 9 ISU).
Ava Cinnamo put up the fourth-best ISU performance on the indoor triple jump list with an indoor best 41-3 1/4 (12.58m). Cinnamo won the event with the mark by over four feet.
Candra King improved on her weight throw PR set this past December by over five feet to debut on the all-time top 10 program list at No. 5 with 65-6 1/4 (19.97m).
For the men, Garret Wagner took the win with 67-9 1/2 (20.66m), throwing over 20 meters in five of six rounds. Zach Verzani hit a PR of 64-6 3/4 (19.68m) to improve his mark at No. 7 in ISU history.
Sydney Willits made her return to competition for Iowa State after competing unattached last season winning the long jump with a strong opener of 21-0 3/4 (6.42m). Early in the season, the distance ties for the fifth-best mark nationally.
In 60m hurdles prelims, freshman Emma Havighurst again lowered her best time to 8.49. Havighurst moved up a spot to No. 9 on the ISU performance list. In the final, Iowa State swept the podium as Riyah Burns took first, followed by Havighurst and Maia Denge-Hagen.
In men's hurdles, two-time NCAA DII national champion and first-year Cyclone Daylin Williams timed in at 7.89 for the win, now the ninth-best performance in Iowa State history.
Devan Kipyego took the 1,000m win with a fast 2:21.63. The junior makes his first appearance on the top 10 in the event at No. 8. Freshman Matthew Shelly took sixth lowering his best set in December by three seconds with 2:23.18.
Iowa State next hosts the Cyclone Open Friday, Jan. 23.
