Meet results

KENOSHA, Wis. – Missouri S&T got top performances from two of its freshmen Sunday to highlight its efforts at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships, as Amanda Wetzel (Keller, Texas/Keller) captured the pole vault title and Skyler Ruszkowski (League City, Texas/Clear Falls) took second in the high jump.

Wetzel won the pole vault by clearing 11-10 and did not have a miss until the final height, giving her the championship based on fewer missed.  Meanwhile, Ruszkowski cleared 5-5¼ to take second in the high jump in her first collegiate conference meet, falling to Lewis' Amber Cook based on just one more miss than Cook in the competition.

The pair of top two finishes, along with a third place finish in the 4x400-meter relay and four other scoring efforts Sunday, allowed the Lady Miners to finish seventh in the team standings.  Lewis won the team title by a wide margin over Indianapolis and Bellarmine.
