// QUICK STARTS
• Three school record fell at the Music City Challenge, including the women's pole vault (Catherine), the men's 60m (Edwards) and the women's 4x400m (Lattimore, Bisiolu, Gesicki, Robinson)
• Following the event, Catherine was selected as the AAC Female Field Athlete of the Week
• All 4 women on the record relay currently are ranked in the program's all-time Top 10 as well, including #1 Robinson, #3 Lattimore, #4 Bisiolu and #10 Gesicki
• The relay ran the fastest time in UC indoor history and the #4 time combined (in & out) after running the three fastest last year on the way to All-America honors outdoors
• Aaron Bienenfeld ran the #3 time in program history in the men's 5,000m run to place him on his third all-time Top 10 chart this year (mile and 3,000m as well)
• The women's distance squad reshuffled a few of the program's Top 10 lists over the weekend as times were added to the 800m (#6 Anton), Mile (#4 Markel) and 3,000m (#7 Mikula)
• Rookie Sam Meece added his name to the Top 10 in the program's shot put standings, giving him marks in both indoor throws in his first collegiate season
• For the sixth meet in a row, Loretta Blaut won the women's high jump, remaining undefeated in the event in 2018 and having cleared 1.80m in the last five meets
• One week out from the conference meet, nine marks (7W, 2M) held by Bearcats are currently the best in the American as the women have 23 in the Top 8 and the men 18
• If the NCAA meet was the weekend, the Bearcats would have two men and four women headed to College Station as they currently hold marks ranking them in the Top 16 nationally
// BROKEN RECORDS
Three school records fell at the Music City Challenge last weekend:
• Brooke Catherine cleared 4.26m (13-11.75) in the women's pole vault to sneak past Mackenzie Fields, who cleared a then-record 4.25m (13-11.50) during the 2013 season
• The women's 4x400m relay team of Tiona Lattimore, Haisha Bisiolu, Deanna Gesicki and Bryana Robinson reset their own indoor record, this time running 3:36.96 to shave 3.17 seconds off their time from last year's AAC Championship-winning time (3:40.13)
• On the men's side, Austin Edwards ran 6.78 in the final of the 60m to tie the school record that Kenny Wade ran back in 2005
// CATHERINE HONORED
For the first time in her career, Brooke Catherine has been named the American's Female Field Athlete of the Week. The Music City Challenge has been a great meet for Catherine in recent years. Last year, she cleared 3.89m (12-09.00) for her indoor PR and a mark that ranked her #8 all-time in program history. She has bettered that mark several times this year and did so twice Saturday. Recently, she had cleared 4.12m before clearing 4.15m earlier in the competition Saturday and she followed that up with a second-attempt clearance at 4.26m (13-11.75) before missing three times at 4.31m (14-01.75). She finished third in the competition at 4.26m. With that clearance, Catherine not only broke the school record of 4.25m that Mackenzie Fields cleared in 2013, but also improved her PR by 1' 2.75" over last year's best mark (3.89m). Catherine's record mark also ranks her #1 in the AAC by 4.5" and places her 16th on the NCAA order list. If the season ended today, Catherine would be the final qualifier into the NCAA Indoor Championships. If she maintains that position, or improves upon it at the AAC meet, she will qualify for her first national meet with the Bearcats.
// FIRE 400
The members of the women's 4x400m relay brought the heat in Nashville last weekend as the each turned in superb times in the open 400m before laying down a school-record 3:36.96 in the relay at the end of the meet. In the open, Bryana Robinson led the way running 53.31, just off her season-best and UC record 53.08, while Tiona Lattimore was just behind her in 53.75, the #3 time in program history. Haisha Bisiolu ran 54.46 to post the #4 time in Bearcats history with Deanna Gesicki running 56.28 to post the #10 time in program history, meaning all four women are now in the Top 10 for the first time. Later in the meet, the four came together and ran 3:36.96, breaking their own school record by 3.17 seconds as they ran splits of 53.7 (Lattimore), 54.5 (Bisiolu), 55.5 (Gesicki) and 52.9 (Robinson). Through the weekend, the relay is the leader in the American while the individual runners rank #1 (Robinson), #2 (Lattimore), #4 (Bisiolu) and #9 (Gesicki) in the open 400m race. If they were to finish this way at the conference meet, that would be a huge 33 points for the women's team.
// MORE ON THE RELAY
Last year, the relay team made history as the first Bearcats relay to not only make the national meet, but also earned All-America honors (second team). Their record run this past weekend added to their historical accounts as they posted the #4 time ever at UC when combining indoor and outdoor marks, giving them the Top 4 marks all-time. When removing their three marks run last year during the outdoor season that broke the record each time, the team's indoor mark run last weekend is faster than any other relay team UC has ever assembled.
// BIENENFELD CONTINUES TO ADD
Aaron Bienenfeld joined the program in January and has raced four times with three of his time ranking among the program's all-time Top 10. More interestingly is the fact that those three times have come in three different events as he currently ranks #9 in the mile (4:10.82), #7 in the 3,000m run (8:23.99) and #3 in the 5,000m (14:29.23) with the longest race being run last week in Nashville. He is now just the second Bearcats to be listed on all three lists with only former All-American standout Eric Finan joining him as the #2, #1 and #1, respectively, in the three races.
// WOMEN'S DISTANCE SQUAD HITTING THE BRICKS
The women's distance squad had runners in three different events post times that moved them up the all-time Top 10 charts in program history over the weekend. Senior Alexis Anton ran 2:13.38 to lower her personal best and claim the #6 position on the 800m chart. Two rookies were back at it once again this week as well. Hannah Markel (redshirt freshman) continued her back-and-forth PR lowering with true freshman Sam Mikula in the mile as Markel ran 5:02.29 to move past Mikula one week after Mikula ran 5:03.26 to overtake Markel. With Markel's time in Nashville, she is the fourth Bearcats woman to run under 5:03 in the event. Mikula took her turn on the track and raced the 3,000m event where she ran 10:01.07 to post the #7 time in UC history. The two rookies are now both on the mile and the 3,000m charts with Markel ranked #4 and #3, respectively, while Mikula is #6 and #7, respectively.
// THROWING IT AROUND
Sam Meece and Marcus Abraham added marks to the Top 10 charts in the throws over the weekend, but both did so in a new event. Meece opened his rookie season with a weight throw mark that placed in the Top 10 in Week 1 before joining the shot put rankings this week while junior transfer Abraham made the shot put list in Week 1 before adding his name to the ledger in the weight throw this week. Abraham was up first as he threw the 35-pound ball out to 17.14m (56-03.00) to post the #6 throw in UC history. Then, the next day, Meece joined in the shot put Top 10 as he put the ball out to 16.37m (53-08.50) for the #10 all-time mark.
// BLAUT CONTINUES TO STREAK
Loretta Blaut continued to do what she has done all season and that is win high jump competitions. Blaut made it 6-for-6 on the year as she captured the title in Nashville with a best of 1.81m. While she didn't clear a season-best mark for the fifth week in a row, she did manage to clear 1.80m or better for the fifth week in a row and post the ninth-best clearance in the nation last weekend.
// IN THE USTFCCCA RANKINGS - TEAM NATIONAL
The updated USTFCCCA computer rankings were released this week with the women rising four spot to #25 and the men climbing two to #50. It marks the fifth week in a row the women have been ranked in the Top 30, the first time since last year when UC was #29, #25, #26 and #26 in the first four releases and marks the 11th regular season Top 30 for the women while also marking the 21st week in a row UC has been in the national Top 50 during the regular season after having only been in the Top 50 six total times from 2008-15.
// #SQUADGOALS
When looking at the national rankings, the USTFCCCA also calculates Squad Rankings, which are based upon the Top 4 marks each team produces in the same event and averages those marks. This week, the women have five squads in the Top 16, including the shot put (4), 400m (8), weight throw (12), high jump (14) and pole vault (15). Three other events, the long jump (21), 60m (25) and 200m (30), are also in the Top 30. For the men, five of their 'squads' are ranked in the Top 35, including the 60m (30), weight throw (32), high jump (35), long jump (35) and shot put (35).
// IN THE USTFCCCA RANKINGS - TEAM REGIONAL
Along with the national rankings were an update to the latest regional rankings that saw the men maintain their #9 standing in the Great Lakes Region while the women slipped one spot to #4. The women remained in the Top 5 in the region on the strength of two marks that are currently tops among all athletes in the Great Lakes, including Loretta Blaut in the high jump (1.84m) and Annette Echikunwoke in the weight throw (23.69m).
// TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADERS
One week out from the American Athletic Conference Championships, the Bearcats hold 41 total marks (23 women, 18 men) that rank in the Top 8 of the league with seven women's marks and two men's currently topping the charts. The Bearcats currently hold sweeps in both vertical events as Brooke Catherine and Adrian Valles lead the way in the pole vault while Loretta Blaut and Alex Bloom are tops in the high jump. The remaining women with the top rankings include Bryana Robinson in the 400m, Annette Echikunwoke in the shot put and weight throw and Naomi Urbano in the pentathlon. Robinson and her teammates Tiona Lattimore, Haisha Bisiolu and Deanna Gesicki also hold the top spot in the 4x400m relay.
// IF IT WERE TODAY...
If the regular season had ended Sunday, four women and two men would have punched their tickets to the NCAA Championships as they are currently ranked in the Top 16 nationally, which is the cut-off for entry into the national competition. With two weeks left to qualify for nationals (this week and conference weekend), the Bearcats that would be currently in include Annette Echikunwoke in the weight throw (2) and shot put (16), Loretta Blaut in the high jump (10), Bryana Robinson in the 400m (16) and Brooke Catherine in the pole vault (16) for the women while the men would have qualified Adrian Valles in the pole vault (3) and Alex Bloom in the heptathlon (11).
PREVIOUSLY NOTED
// STUDENT DEFEATS TEACHER
Bloom collected his first accolade of the season after another successful heptathlon competition in Texas, this time scoring a personal-best 5,649 points in the two-day, seven-event competition to not only better his previous best by 45 points, but also take down the school record by 33 points. The previous record was 5,616 points that Chris Wineberg, Bloom's current coach, scored 14 years ago in 2004. Currently, Bloom ranks #11 in the NCAA and #2 in the American after recording the third-highest score of the weekend across the nation. To get to his record point total, Bloom posted personal-best marks in four of the seven events, opening the competition with a UC heptathlon record time of 7.03 in the 60m dash. He also moved to #3 on the program's heptathlon shot put chart with a heave of 12.78m (41-11.25) on the first day of competition. On the final day, he posted PRs in the final two events of the day, first in the pole vault as he cleared 4.55m (14-11.00). Needing 771 points in the 1,000m run, Bloom scored 803 points as he ran a best of 2:46.50 to not only post the #4 heptathlon 1,000m time in program history, but also break Wineberg's overall scoring record.
