LINCOLN, Neb. – The College of Saint Mary track and field team turned in plenty of bright moments on Saturday in the Prairie Wolf Invite hosted by Nebraska Wesleyan University.

"We had solid performances today,'' CSM Coach Steve Gordon Jr. said. "In fact, if this team hadn't already raised the bar and elevated their standards so highly, today would be seen as a very successful meet – which is exactly what it was. Learning how to properly handle our new normal is an exciting way to grow for the Flames.''

Some of the highlights:

In the hammer throw, sophomore Clare Ullery added more than four meters to her program record with a fourth-place toss of 48.32 meters (158 feet, 6 inches), which is now 31^st in the nation.

Senior Claire Caspersen improved her outdoor season best in the shot put with a heave of 13.95 (45-9¼), which was good for second place and now ranks eighth nationally.

Sophomore Allison Isaacson earned an outdoor program record in the triple jump with a second-place leap of 10.86 (35-7¾), and also set a personal best in the long jump with a fifth-place effort of 5.13 (16-10). The Flames went 2-3-5 in the long jump, with Mikaiya Rodgers taking second at 5.36 (17-7) and Kellesse Heard placing third at 5.34 (17-6¼).

Senior Madalynn Rhodes threw the javelin 38.54 meters (126-5), just off her program record, en route to a second-place finish.

Freshman Olivia Elbert placed fourth in the 400 in 1:00.72, which ranks No. 2 alltime in the Flames' record books.

Freshman Kara Muller finished first among seven entries in the 5,000 in 19:14.87.

Freshman Savannah Horne led a 2-5-6 finish in the 100, taking second in 12.41. Heard was fifth (12.82) and Taylor Hrabik sixth (12.99).

In the 200, Horne also grabbed second (26.16) as CSM went 2-5-7-8. Mackenzie Stanley was fifth (26.78), Hrabik placed seventh (26.94) and Ava Hilger grabbed eighth (27.07).
