Jo Young captured both the shot put and weight throw titles at Findlay.

FINDLAY, Ohio -- Jo Young continued her dominance this season by winning both the shot put (46' 6") and weight throw (54' 6") at the Fazoli's Open at the Malcolm Athletic Center. No team scores were kept, but UC captured seven of the 13 event titles.

Young's shot put mark ranks as the second best in school history and is only four inches short of her own school record.

Jalenna Banks won the triple jump in a personal-best 37' 10 1/2", the third farthest leap in UC history.

Jocelyn Gibson posted a personal-best 5:09.37 in winning the one mile run, while Karen Berling snagged the 3000 meter title (10:28.8).

Renee Hein, who set a UC record in the high jump last weekend, grabbed her third event crown in as many tries this season, clearing 5' 7".

Shintara Carpenter earned the 60 meter hurdle title, posting a 9.29.

The Bearcats will travel to Akron, Ohio for the competitive All-Ohio Championships on Feb. 12.
