| Sarah Skipper Places Tenth in NAIA Heptathlon 5/22/2009 |
Sophomore Sarah Skipper (Lewistown, Montana) earned a tenth place finish in the 2009 NAIA Heptathlon at Edwardsvile, Illinois on Friday and Saturday at the NAIA National Track & Field Championships. Sarah scored 4241 points to finish just 54 points out of 9th place. Sarah competed in the final three events on Friday - leaping 16' 3" in the long jump, throwing the javelin 80' 9", and running a career best time of 2:26.91 in the 800.
Coach Clark commented:
"Sarah finished with a terrific 800 at a time when the temperature on the track was probably around 90 degrees, something we have not experienced this season. Sarah had a good performance all the way around, especially after having to pull herself together following a pretty nasty spill over a hurdle in warmup less than a minute before competing in the 100 hurdles, the first event of the heptathlon. Sarah recovered to run 15.94, not her best, but I thought pretty good after skinning up her hip and knees just prior to getting into the blocks. Sarah tied for 3rd in the high jump, just one centimeter off her career best. She had her second best multi-event shot put effort at 28' 1", and finished the first day within 0.05 of her career best in the 200. She was in 10th place after her first day and competed hard to stay there on the second day. Sarah concluded an amazing season, that included Most Valuable Athlete honors in both the DAC Indoor and DAC Outdoor Championships. Sarah won six DAC Individual Championships and scored an incredible 81 points in the two conference meets. Sarah had the leading Jimmie performance - including indoor and outdoor seasons - in ten events, and competed in 15 different events during the season. She led the Jimmies in scoring with 192.75 team points for the season. Sarah qualifed for indoor nationals in the pentathlon, long jump, and 55 hurdles. She qualified for outdoor nationals in the heptathlon, 100 hurdles, and 400 hurdles."
"Emmylyn Bentley ran her best steeplechase race of her career at NAIA Nationals and you can only hope that happens. We did not spend the season training specifically for the steeplechase, but that is the event in which Emmy reached the qualifying standard and she was able to help the team in the event at conference. She competed well the few times she ran the race. Two wonderful moments that stand out to me in the season involved Emmy. She ran a terriffic anchor leg, allowing herself and teammates to be conference indoor champions in the 4 x 800 relay. And then Emmy raced with as much will as I saw all year to win a DAC Individual championship in the outdoor 800 meters. And that does not even include the great races Emmy ran at indoor nationals to, along with her teammates, earn NAIA All-America honors and twice break the school record in the Distance Medley Relay. I am especially happy for Emmy, due to the fact that she had to miss the last half of the cross country season due to injury." |
