Jasmine Stabler’s personal record in the 800-meter run is never safe when she steps up to the starting line. On Saturday at the Iowa State Classic, however, it was a school record that was in jeopardy.

Hanging at the west end of the track inside Lied Recreation Athletic Center is a constant reminder of past success of the Iowa State women’s track and field team. Two banners signify conference championships and top-10 NCAA Indoor finishes. Just below is a list of the top all-time performers for each event in Iowa State track and field history.

But on Saturday, Staebler gave the Iowa State track and field fans packed into the bleachers at Lied something else to celebrate — the present.

In just over two minutes, everyone in attendance at Iowa State’s home opener witnessed Staebler become the greatest 800-meter runner in Iowa State women’s track and field history.

For Staebler, it might take a little longer to realize exactly what she accomplished.

“I haven’t even processed it yet,” Staebler said after the race. “I was just so tired when I crossed the finish line. I wasn’t thinking about it until coach said my time, and then I just couldn’t believe it.”

Her time of 2:03.08 placed her fourth overall in the race on a day when Shea Collinsworth of BYU set the Iowa State Classic and Lied facility records for the event.

Staebler’s time also was over a second and a half faster than her previous personal best of 2:04.81, which ranked 13th in the country heading into the Iowa State Classic and was set two weeks ago at the PSU National in University Park, Pennsylvania.

“Running it, I felt my time was going to be fast, it definitely felt fast, but I had no idea it would actually be [a school record],” Staebler said. “But I just knew that I was almost done and I had to gut it out because I knew I would regret it later if I didn’t give it everything I had.”

The new mark, which ranks ninth in the country, puts Staebler on path to make her debut at the NCAA Indoor National Championship on March 10 and 11.

It was one of 10 personal records set throughout the two-day event, a sign of not only improvement for the Iowa State women’s track and field team but also a bright future considering only five out of 32 athletes listed on the team’s roster are either seniors or redshirt seniors.

For sophomore Emma Whigham, who recorded personal records in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash, competing at home played a factor into the weekend success.

“You know how this track is, we practice on it every day,” Whigham said. “You know how to take the turns, you know how to run the straights. And of course the fans and the family here … it’s awesome.”

While Jhoanmy Luque did not set a personal record, she once again left an impact on the meet, leading a 1-2-3 Iowa State sweep in the long jump Friday.

The Cyclones will head to North Carolina next weekend to compete in the UCS Invitational before returning home for the Big 12 Indoor Championship on Feb. 24 and 25.
