TRACK & FIELD SETS FIVE SCHOOL RECORDS AT HUSKY CLASSIC
2/11/2007
SEATTLE — Michelle Garcia, Ericka Violett, Jody Johnson, Jeffrey Paneda and Dominic Vogl each set Sacramento State school records on Saturday at the Husky Classic.
Garcia set the school mark by running 10:00.06 in the 3K breaking the record of 10:04.81 which was set by Melissa Madison in 2001. She also moved into second place all-time at Sacramento State with a mile time of 5:01.89.
Violett destroyed the pole vault mark by clearing 12-06.00. She had tied the previous mark earlier this season with a vault of 11-07.75.
On the men’s side, junior Jody Johnson ran 6.76 in the 60-meter dash and nearly recorded an NCAA provisional mark. Johnson, who is in his first year with the Hornet track and field program, was just .02 seconds of the NCAA mark en route to a second-place finish. His time is also the fastest in the Big Sky this season. Johnson had set the 60-meter school record earlier this season with a time of 6.85.
Paneda bettered his own school record in the mile by nearly four seconds. The junior ran 4:12.64 at Seattle to break his own record of 4:16.61. In the 3K, Vogl also topped his own record by running 8:38.35. That time was three seconds faster than his previous best of 8:41.59.
Sacramento State also added four more qualifiers for the Big Sky Indoor Championships. Garcia’s time in the mile moved her onto the list while Violett also met the standard in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.13.
Johnson, who had already qualified in the 60-meter dash, added his name to the 200 list with a time of 22.01. Sophomore A.J. Reed also qualified in the 60-meter hurdles after running 8.29.
The Hornet men also recorded three personal best marks in the pole vault. One week after Daniel Imlach set the school record, Jimmy Williamson, Charles Nichols and Robert Brazier all set new highs. Williamson cleared 15-07.25 to rank sixth in the Big Sky, Nichols vaulted 15-01.50 and Brazier recorded a height of 14-07.50.
Sacramento State will have next weekend off before traveling to Bozeman, Mont., for the Big Sky Championships hosted by Montana State.
