MIAA Indoor Conference Championship

Day 1: UNO had 3 girls compete in the pentathalon. Sami finished 6th to put our team on the board for points. Ckayln and Jessica also showed huge improvements on the season- they both set personal records in 3 out of the 5 events.

Day 2: Lianne finished 6th in the weight throw with a huge personal record of over 5 feet (51'3.75")! Nkeiruka also won the triple jump (43'8"), setting the MIAA conference and stadium record. Many got through the prelims on Day 2 to qualify for the finals on Day 3: Anja (800), Maja (200), Jody-Ann (60 Hurdles), and I (400).

Day 3: Nkeiruka won the long jump with a personal best (19'5.25"), and Kathie-Lee also took 4th in that event (18'7"). Kathie-Lee also won the high jump (5'8.75"). Heather won the shot put (48'9"), which is an automatic qualifying mark for nationals. Anja got 6th in the mile and turned around an hour later and won the 800. Jody-Ann got 4th in the hurdles, Maja got 3rd in the 200, and the mile relay took 4th.

Our team took 4th place- amazing despite all that happened. The funny part of the trip was that we drove down to Warrensburg in a blizzard and drove back to Omaha in a thunderstorm- thank you Midwest weather. There is a last chance qualifier meet at Iowa State this weekend. Coach hasn't announced who is going. Nationals is next weekend in New Mexico.
