EUGENE, Ore. – The NCU women's track & field team took full advantage of their final weekend of the regular season, hitting a trio of school records and adding a pair of new Cascade Conference qualifications as they competed at the Oregon Twilight and the Linfield Open.
 
The 4x100m Relay team of Halona Jackson, Karrin Shriner, Abigail Spencer and Ruth Meeker broke a school record not once but twice, first at the Oregon Twilight on Friday (50.13) and then breaking 50-seconds for the first time as they took third at Linfield on Saturday (49.80).
 
Shriner (pictured) had a strong day individually as well. In the 100m she broke her own school record (12.53) and finished second in the 39-runner field and followed with a victory in the 200m, topping a 34-runner field (25.99).
 
Another school record was broken by freshman Christy Seaton, who landed a 1.47m clearance in the high jump to earn her third CCC event qualification. In addition, Danielle Willyard qualified in her second event, posting NCU's best triple-jump of the season at 10.55m.
 
A school-record 20 women will be headed to Ashland next weekend for the Cascade Collegiate Conference championships, behind hosted by Southern Oregon University from May 12-13.
