FINAL RESULTS
For the second consecutive year, the Bowling Green State University track and field team has finished in 11th place at the Mid-American Conference Indoor Championships.
Over the course of the two day meet, the Falcons scored six points in the 17 events. All of the points came in today's competition, divided equally among two sixth-place finishers.
After qualifying yesterday for the finals in the 60 meter dash by winning her preliminary heat, freshman Jeanette Pettigrew scored three points for the Falcons today by finishing sixth in the finals. Pettigrew ran the event in a time of 7.65 seconds. Eastern Michigan's ReJeana Marigna won the event.
The other points for the Orange and Brown came via senior Sabrina Forstein and the pole vault. Forstein completed a vault of 11-11.75 to finish sixth. This is the second consecutive year that Forstein has finished sixth at the MAC Championships; in fact, Forstein has scored points at the MAC Championships for the Falcons in three consecutive years.
Two other Falcon individuals recorded top-ten finishes in today's action. Freshman Tatijana Jacobson recorded a personal (and season) best mark of 1.64 meters (5-04.50) in the high jump. Jacobson's jump earned her a ninth-place finish.
Junior Autumn Dettmann also recorded a season-best mark on her way to a tenth-place finish in the mile run. Today, Dettmann ran the mile in just 5:05.93 and finished less than 10 seconds behind the MAC champion in the event, Kelley Miller of Miami.
Brooke McCombs (shot put) and Andrea Pereira de Almeida (3000m run) each recorded top-20 finishes today.
In the 4x400 meter relay, the team of Jeanette Pettigrew, Felicia Jefferson, Allison Weimer and Heather Conger completed the run in 3:59.10 for a tenth place finish.
