Freshman Dominique Davis captured the 600 meter title in 1:38.72, while the Bearcats? 4x400 relay team captured the event crown (3:57.50).
THROW, JO: Senior Jo Young, the UC record holder in both the indoor and outdoor shot put, has started her senior season strong, capturing three of the four events she has competed in. At the Hoosier Classic on Jan. 15, Young won both the shot put and the weight throw. At Bowling Green, she took home the shot put crown, helping the Bearcats to a team championship.
FRESH FEATS: Freshmen Dominique Davis and Brittney Klima have made their presence felt early in the season.
Davis won the 600 meter title at the BGSU Quintangular in 1:38.72, placing her second on the all-time UC performance list.
Klima has cleared 10? 11 3/4? in the pole vault, also second on UC?s all-time list.
HEIN BREAKS UC RECORD: Sophomore Renee Hein entered the season fourth on the all-time UC high jump list with a 5? 6? leap. She has topped that mark in each of her competitions this season, winning the event at each meet, and set a school record with a 5? 8 3/4? high jump at the BGSU Quintangular.
