Paige Lane Came a Mere Inch from Setting New Career Record at Toledo Invitational

First Day Complete At Toledo Invitational

Fri, Apr, 30 | Women's Track and Field

DAY ONE RESULTS

A very busy weekend started off very well for the Bowling Green State University track and field team, as the squad competed on Thursday at the first day of the 2010 Toledo Invitational.

Five athletes from BGSU saw action in Toledo on the first day of competition, and four of those five finished in the top ten of their event.

In the javelin event, junior Paige Lane came within one inch of her career record with a toss of 119-00 (36.27m).  Lane placed second, just two feet shy of the winner.  Lane's toss is also one of the 15 best in the Mid-American Conference for the 2010 outdoor season to date.

Sophomore Megan Niehaus also completed and secured a mark of 68-11 (21.01m).

Meanwhile, three different Falcons placed in the top ten of the hammer throw out of a total of 24 entrants.

Freshman Kristin Boettcher placed a solid second with a heave of 161-01 (49.11m).  This follows up last week's effort for Boettcher at the Hillsdale Relays, where she recorded a throw of 170-04, one of the top 20 marks in the MAC this season.

Fellow freshman Brooke McCombs earned a sixth place finish with a toss of 147-04 (44.92m), while Ashley Harris placed eighth after recording a throw of 141-07 (43.15m).

Several more Falcons will be in action tomorrow as the Toledo Invitational concludes.  Many others will travel to Columbus, Ohio tomorrow for the first day of the 25th annual Jesse Owens Track Classic.  A list of events with BGSU participants is at the bottom of this page.
