Bearcats Wrap-Up Weekend at Home

CINCINNATI- The University of Cincinnati men's and women's track and field teams captured eight individual events in their lone home meet of the season, the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational, on Saturday at Gettler Stadium.

"It is always special when you get to compete in front of your home fans and in your own stadium," head caoch Susan Seaton said. "The Olivier Nikoloff Invitational is our only home meet of the year, which makes it even more special and our fans got to see us claim eight individual event wins over the weekend.  "Today was also Senior Day and we were able to honor all of 29 of our seniors that have put so much work into the program. Thank you to our seniors and to all the fans that came out to support us."

Sophomore Korbin Spencer won the Bearcat's first event of the meet. He claimed first in the men's discus with a throw of 52.83m/ 173'4", the seventh-best throw in program history. 
 
Juniors Giovanni Gutierrez (17.54m/57'6.5") and Jackson Vollbrecht (17.49m/57'4.5") dominated the men's shot put as the duo finished first and second, respectively. Vollbrecht's mark is a personal best and moved him to sixth in UC history.
 
Freshman Jayda Bushay ran her way into to a first-place finish in the women's 100-meter dash with a personal best time of 11.69. Her time earned her the eighth spot in the UC record book.
 
Bushay was also the only Bearcat to win multiple events this weekend as she claimed first in the women's 200-meter dash with a time of 25.16 seconds.
 
Senior Chase VanSickle and Junior Anaya Dees each leaped their way to victory at Gettler Stadium. VanSickle won the men's high jump after clearing a bar height of 2.05m /6'8.75." Dees took over the women's long jump claiming first with a jump of 5.75m/18'10.5."
 
Graduate student Will Roberts earned his first career event win as a Bearcat. He won the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 55.31.
 
Sophomore Annika Kinley's undefeated outdoor season continued as she took first in the women's high jump. She cleared a bar height of 1.71m/5'7.25" to cap off the Bearcat's sweep of the high jump events.
 
Both the men's and women's pole vault were canceled due to high winds in the area.
