The ISU track teams continued their assault on the record books, as two more Cyclone records fell this past weekend at Texas.

Jamie Beyer smashed his old record, set last year, in the hammer throw.

His toss of 192-10 was nearly three feet farther than the previous mark.

Beyer placed seventh overall in the event.

Aurelia Trywianska also broke her own record in the 100-meter hurdles, set just two weeks ago. Her time of 13.39 seconds erased her old record of 13.53.

She finished eighth overall in the event.

The rest of the Cyclone teams had solid performances, given the high level of competition.

Zech Schiebout continued his impressive year by winning a discus event.

He threw a personal best of 188-1.

This is the third time in as many weeks that Schiebout has established a new personal record.

Coach Steve Lynn said that the throw would qualify Schiebout for the national meet, provisionally. He said that Schiebout’s favorite event is the discus, and that he is motivated this year to be an All-American.

Distance runner Daniel Kinyua also earned praise from Lynn. Kinyua ran on the distance medley and 4X1,500 teams.

Lynn said that Kinyua outran Missouri’s Derrick Peterson, the NCAA record holder in the 800, in one leg of the distance medley race.

The medley team, which featured Kinyua, Lucas Buckley, Dan Reis and Matt Williams, finished sixth.

The 4X1,500 team of Williams, Kinyua, Mike Mwangong and Troy Weiland was fifth.

Lynn was pleased with both teams for placing near the top in a highly competitive field.

Mwangong was another runner who stepped up at Texas.

He placed third in the 5,000 meter run.

Lynn said that was quite an accomplishment, because the wind was blowing around 35 mph.

Mwangong is taller than the other runners, so he couldn’t draft and conserve energy.

Cyclone hurdlers Justin Hyde and Andy Long saw their first action in over two weeks in the 110-meter high hurdles. Lynn was happy to see them both in action, even though neither qualified for the finals in the event.

Hyde is recovering from an illness, while Long has been nursing an injury to his heel that occurred in a hurdle event two weeks ago.

Women’s coach Dick Lee said his team had some pretty solid events at Texas.

Other than Trywianska, only the 4X200 relay team advanced past the preliminary round of their event, but Lee said that the Texas Relays are known for having tough competition and lots of good sprint events, so he was just happy to see solid times.

The 4X200 team, made up of Christina Peterson, Barbara Szlendakova, Sheba Clarke and Ola Adetiba, finished fourth in a time of 1:37.82, a mark that was also near a new school record.

That same foursome also made up the 4X100 relay team, and although they didn’t advance to the finals, they ran a solid 46.13 seconds against top competition.

Clarke and Adetiba both competed in the 100-meter dash, and posted good times of 11.95 and 11.67 respectively.

In the long jump, Szlendakova jumped 19-8.25, which is two feet farther than she jumped two weeks ago at Arizona.

Lee said that despite having only a handful of athletes at Texas, he was happy with how they performed.

He said they are where he expected them to be performance wise coming off the indoor season.

If they can stay healthy, Lee anticipates the team can be in the top half of the conference, but the next big test will be the Drake Relays.

Lynn is also concerned with injuries.

He admitted the men lack depth this year, and if they are going to perform well in meets, runners will have to get and stay healthy.

The next meet for the Cyclones will be this weekend, and it will be a split-squad situation.

Some athletes will head south to Missouri, while others will stay in state at Des Moines.
