SEATTLE, Wash.- The Utah women's track and field team concluded the Husky Invitational Saturday with several Utes posting solid performances.
"We really stepped up and got some things done today," Utah head coach Kyle Kepler said. "We are making the finals in the field events and our kids are really competing hard in the races. We didn't win any events today, but at the same time I felt like we really put ourselves into position to win and that is all that we can ask for. The kids are starting to believe in themselves and continue to compete hard every meet. With two weeks left until the MPSF Championships, I am excited to get back home and finish up a great indoor season."
The Utes began the second day of action with a couple impressive performances in the shot put. Redshirt senior Destanae Howerton-Davis qualified for the final round, where she threw a distance of 14.69 meters to capture sixth. Sophomore Kassie Nagel also competed for the Utes and placed 15th overall with a throw of 13.36 meters.
Freshman Michelle Norman competed in the triple jump for the first time in her collegiate career. Norman leaped a distance of 11.78 meters to earn fourth overall.
The 400-meter run featured three Utes competing. Sophomore Rhianna Williams led the way for the Utes with a fourth-place time of 55.09 seconds. Grace Englund crossed the line second for the Utes and 28th overall with a time of 57.30 seconds. Mesa Weidle placed 41st with a time of 58.27 seconds.
Every Ute who competed in the mile recorded season-best performance. Highlighting this group was true freshman Sarah Feeny's time of 4:44.50 to earn 20th overall. Redshirt freshman Hannah McInturff finished next for the Utes and 35th overall. McInturff's time of 4:49.61 was not only her season best time, but also a lifetime best in the event. Nikki Rietz ran a time of 4:53.80 to finish 49th.
In the 3,000-meter race, Jessica Sams represented the Utes, crossing the line in 48th with a one-second personal record time of 9:42.64.
Sophomore Christine Van Brocklin clocked a time of 9.25 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles to earn 26th.
In the 60-meter dash, sophomore Alissa Atisme captured 20th place with a time of 7.81 seconds. Freshman Raynee Helm also competed for the Utes, recording a time of 7.89 seconds for 30th. This race marks the first time Helm has broken the 7.90-second barrier.
The Utes had two athletes compete in the 800. Andrea Chavez finished first for the Utes and 56th overall with a time of 2:14.68 and Allison Aafedt finished in 66th.
The Utes will compete next on Feb. 20 at the Weber State Tune Up in Ogden, Utah.
