CORAL GABLES, Fla. – On the second day of the Hurricane Invitational, Elise Ulseth made a statement, rewriting the North Dakota record books with three new school records. As a team, the Fighting Hawks finished the Miami trip with three new program records, 21 top eight-finishes and five new marks on the UND top-10 list.

Ulseth set the tone for UND, breaking the school record on her first throw of the javelin with a distance of 165-0 (50.29m), eventually winning the event title with that throw. The previous record was 164-5 (50.11m) set by Jayd Eggert at the 2015 Big Sky Outdoor Championships.

Ulseth continued her record-breaking day later in the afternoon with a sixth-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles in a time of 13.91, bettering the previous record by .05 seconds. Erin Brown was the record holder coming into the day set at the 2020 Costal Carolina Invitational.

The Kristiansund, Norway, native finished her dominance at the Hurricane Invitational with her third school record, this time in the long jump with a record-breaking leap of 19-8 3/4 (6.01m) to place as the No. 2 collegiate finisher. Current Fighting Hawk Jennifer Parent was the last record holder with a mark of 19-6 3/4 (5.96m) at last year's Summit League Outdoor Championships.

Erica Benson joined Ulseth in the long jump and had an impressive personal best of 18-3 (5.56m) to enter the UND all-time top-10 list at the No. 9 spot.

Parent and Benson also competed in the javelin throw with Ulseth to start the day and recorded third and sixth-place finishes, respectively. Parent was third with a mark of 128-5 (39.14m), while Benson finished sixth in 96-11 (29.55m).

In the men's javelin, Andrew Walter finished as the runner-up with a throw of 172-2 (52.48m).

Natalie Mohring continued North Dakota's strong showing in the infield with a third-place finish in the hammer throw with a personal-best toss of 179-0 (54.57m). Her PR in the event missed out on the UND top-10 list by less than three inches.

Three Hawks placed in the triple jump, led by Austin Wolf taking fifth in the men's section with a leap of 43-8 1/2 (13.32m). In the women's triple jump, Autumn Stokes finished sixth with a mark of 38-11 1/2 (11.87m), followed by Parent taking eighth in a jump of 37-7 3/4 (11.47m).

Allison Lardy placed sixth in the shot put with a throw of 45-10 1/2 (13.98m).

Conny Wohlfahrt was the first Fighting Hawk to compete on the track and took third in the 1,500 meters in a time of 4:37.14.

Mackenzie Severson crossed the finish line seventh in a time of 12.26 in the 100 meters, good to tie for the No. 8 time in school history.

Jory Vasek clocked a time of 49.69 in the 400 meters to finish seventh, missing out on the UND top-10 list by less than one second.

Elaina Swartz took seventh in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:06.94 to place seventh, while Mitchel Wangler placed eighth in the 110-meter hurdles in 14.92.

North Dakota will now turn its attention to the Lone Star State. The Fighting Hawks will compete at both the Texas Relays and Texas State Invitational next week, with the Texas Relays running from March 23-26, and the Texas State Invitational going from March 24-26.
