Last Time Out
Last week the Fighting Hawks sent the throwers and distance groups to Fargo to compete in the Bison Cup and UND recorded three top-10 performances in school history, one event title and five top-three finishes.
Kenna Curry impressed with two top-10 performances in school history. She set the tone with a third-place finish in the weight throw with a PR toss of 58-9 1/4 (17.91m), good for the eighth-best throw in school history. Curry duplicated that performance later in the afternoon with the No. 5 throw in program history in the shot put to take third with a throw of 46-5 1/4 (13.90m).
Ellyssa Peterson also had a top-10 performance in Fighting Hawk history, claiming the crown in the women's 3,000 meters in a time of 10:04.37 with the 10th-fastest time in UND history in the event.
Conny Wohlfahrt was the runner-up in 10:11.45, while
Jadyn Keeler placed third in a time of 10:11.49. Wohlfahrt and Keeler were less than 8.0 seconds from making the all-time UND top-10 performance list in the event.
