The ISU men and women track and field teams set several school and personal records against athletes from around the nation last weekend in the ISU Classic.

“We had several kids who had great meets,” said women’s coach Dick Lee.

The women were led by junior Aurelia Trywianska who won the long jump Friday night, then set a Cyclone record winning the 60-meter hurdles on Saturday.

Her new record time was 8.37 seconds. Trywianska also placed third in the triple jump.

“I was surprised,” said Trywianska. Even though she set a school record, she said it wasn’t her personal best. “My personal best is 8.24 seconds,” she said.

She feels there is more room to improve.

“I’m looking forward to the Big 12 meet. Coach and I are very happy with my performance,” she said.

Also setting a new record was sprinter Ola Adetiba. She won the 60-meter dash in a time of 7.47 seconds.

Adetiba also eclipsed the old record in the 200-meter dash with a second place time of 24.02 seconds.

“She had a great, great meet,” said Coach Lee.

ISU freshman Sheba Clarke finished third in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.57 seconds, which was also under the old school record.

“The team has done very well, we are starting to PR in events,” Clarke said.

She also said they were “feeling confident” going into the Big 12 meet in two weeks.

All-American Lisa Griebel won the shot put with a career best throw of 54 feet.

The throw will automatically qualify her for nationals.

“She met the NCAA automatic standard in the shot put with no competition. She won the event by eight feet,” said Lee.

The Cyclones also gathered second and fourth in the 600-meter dash.

Katarina Svensson and Marcy Krumm came in with times of 1:25.63 and 1:27.08 respectively.

“We have a lot of kids just racing with a lot more confidence this year,” Coach Lee said. “Our freshman are doing a good job.”

The men once again got a second place finish from All-American Jamie Beyer in the shot put. Beyer had a season best throw of 61-5 3/4.

The throw would qualify him for the NCAA national meet provisionally.

Former ISU All-American Josh Hagedorn won the shot put with a personal indoor best throw of 64-10.

Junior Joey Brunkhorst set a new personal best in the high jump with a leap of 7-1 1/2 which would provisionally put him in the NCAAs.

“He has become a very solid, consistent seven foot high jumper now,” said men’s coach Steve Lynn.

ISU hurdler Justin Hyde finished third in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 7.84 seconds. This was Hyde’s first action in three weeks since he injured his hamstring.

“Because of the great training staff we have here, they sat me out and waited until I was 100 percent, where I could run a good time,” Hyde said.

Hyde’s time was good enough to qualify him for nationals.

“I’m real confident. I really believe that I will go to nationals just because of the competition and the guys I beat,” he said.

“That hurdle field was really loaded. There were five of the top seven hurdlers in the nation collegiately in the race, plus a guy that was the Pan American champion last year and is one of the top hurdlers in the world. Justin, for him to finish third overall was outstanding,” said Coach Lynn.

ISU’s distance medley team, ranked second in the nation, won on Friday with a time that has them provisionally qualified for nationals.

The team consists of Troy Weiland, Nic Weers, Dan Ries and Daniel Kinyua.

“Things are starting to come together, definitely,” said Ries.

“We knew coming into the meet, to qualify everyone, was going to have to run their PR,” Weers said.

“The meet got started on Friday night in a great manner with the distance medley winning in a come from behind race,” said Coach Lynn. “It was just a good solid meet for us all the way through, I was real pleased with the effort.”

The ISU Classic hosted over 1200 athletes, of those 110 qualified for the national NCAA meet.
