Eagles Have Good Day at UW Open Meet

Sarah Estabrook took 14th overall in the indoor mile in a field of 55 runners and the only NAIA entrant, finishing the distance in a pre-adjusted time of 5:07.09. She was 6th in her heat. Her adjusted time should still be a NAIA qualifying mark as that should be posted later tonight.
TJ Randle was 8th overall in a field of 16 runners and 4th in his heat in the men’s 600m run. He crossed the finish line in 1:23.58.
Kyle Cole was 10th in his heat in the men’s mile running the distance in 4:28.55 while Craig Lambert placed 11th in his heat coming across the finish line in 4:32.44.

Carter Cunningham was 8th in his flight, 21st overall, in the men’s weight throw with a toss of 11.94m (39-02.25) and teammate Landon Warne was 12th with his distance of 9.59m (31-05.75).
“It was a good meet for us today,” said NU coach, Mark Mandi. “I think everyone is competing better as the season goes on and that’s what you hope for as a coach. Sarah Estabrook continues to have an outstanding senior season with a NAIA qualifying mark in her third event. Riley Sine had a great race in the 3k today. He looked tough out there and is really excited to compete at (NAIA) nationals.”
