NCAA T&F & XC--WOMEN (4 CR's broken or tied)

 The Women also had some depth (See Men's report!), but what made headlines here were the number of Collegiate Records either broken or tied--3 broken & 1 tied!
They also outdid the Men in number of Meet Records broken or tied--5 broken and 3 tied!!

And since I follow her on Twitter (and have PM'ed with her father!), I was super happy when Tara Davis not only got her first 22 footer in the LJ, but then nipped the Collegiate Record by an inch with her 22-9 leap!
It's also the Meet Record and the Junior Class Record, and ranks her 6th A-T US!!

Claire Bryant's 21-11.75 took 2nd, and got the Frosh Class Record!
She's 19th A-T Collegiate!
Tyra Gittens leapt 21-11, making her 22nd A-T Collegiate, tied with 2 others, 

Gittens was rather busy over the three days!
She broke the Collegiate Record in the Pentathlon with 4746 points!
This also gave her the Trinidad National Record, the Meet Record, and the Junior Class Record!
She misses the World list by 34 points!!
Anna Hall scored 4401 in 2nd!
Gittens also won the open HJ with her 6-2.75!

The Triple Jump saw TWO Women reach 46-10, with Ruth Usoro's better 2nd jump making her the winner over Deborah Acquah!
But both are credited with tying the Meet Record!!
Acquah is ranked 3rd A-T Collegiate!
Usoro has a better mark!
Ruta Lasmona's 46-5.25 makes her 7th A-T Collegiate!

The 60 saw Jamaica's Kemba Nelson shake up the formcharts a bit, as she won it all in the Collegiate Record time of 7.05!
It's also the Meet Record, and the Junior Class Record!
Twanisha Terry (I saw her referred to as TeeTee Terry!!  Makes sense!) took 2nd in 7.14, while Kiara Grant was 3rd in 7.16!
However, both TT & Grant ran faster in their heats!
Terry ran 7.09 in her heat, making her 6th A-T Collegiate, tied with 2 others, and 17th A-T US, tied with 3 others!
Grant ran her heat in 7.11, making her 9th A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other!

Abby Steiner improved her PR by 0.03 seconds to 22.38 to take the one lapper!
It ties the CR, the Junior Class Record, and the Meet Record!
She's 5th A-T World, tied with 2 others, and 2nd A-T US, tted with 1 other!
Tamara Clark ended in 22.45, making her 7th A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other, 7th A-T US, tied with 1 other, and 16th A-T World, tied with 1 other!

While there were 5 MR's broken--and 3 others tied!--the most depth was in the 800!
Blasting a 56.90 first 400, Aaliyah Miller survived a 2nd 400 of 63.79 to win in the Meet Record time of 2:00.69!
She also gets the Senior Class Record!
She's 2nd A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other, and 22nd A-T US, tied with 1 other!
Athing Mu ran the 400 and in the 4 X 400 Relay (See below!).
Laurie Barton's 2:01.21 took Silver, making her 7th A-T Collegiate!
Shafiqua Maloney was inches behind her, her 2:01.22 making her 8th A-T Collegiate!
Lindsey Butler's 2:02.15 wasn't a PR!
Claire Seymour's 2:02.25 ranks her 19th A-T Collegiate!

Speaking of Mu )Pronounced as MO!), she actually LOST the open 400!!
Kaelin Roberts took advantage by running 50.84 for the Win!
She's 11th A-T Collegiate, and 14th A-T US!
Mu ran 51.03 for Silver (after a heat of 51.02!).
Third was Talitha Diggs in a non-PR of 51.26.
Then came Charokee Young's 51.41, ranking her 22nd A-T Collegiate!

But Ms Mu was NOT done!!
She only ran the fastest ever 400--open or Relay split--in INdoor history!!!
Her incredible long stride--on pencil thin long legs--covered the two laps in 49.54, bringing her Texas A&M team to victory in 3:26.68!
The World Record is 49.59!
Say what you will about running starts in Relay legs (except lead-off!), but Mu's run was absolutely stunning!!

The team set the Meet Record!
USC took 2nd in 3:27.91, while Arkansas was 3rd in 3:28.07!
The DMR saw BYU take the W with 10:52.96!
They become 6th A-T School!
Arkansas was 2nd in 10:57.19, followed by Florida State in 10:59.16, and Oklahoma State in 10:59.75!

The Weight Throw was won by Mihaily Forrest with a throw of 76-3.75!
This makes her 12th A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other, and 19th A-T US, tied with 1 other!
Rachel Tenczos was 2nd with 76-3, making her 14th A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other!
Back in 9th came Monique Hardy, her 70-6.50 breaking her own Frosh Class Record!

Lisa Gunnarsson took the PV, clearing a PR of 14-11.50!
She's 8th A-T Collegiate, tied with 1 other!
Freshman Sydney Horn was 2nd with 14-5.50!

Adelaide Aquilla took the Shot Put with a throw of 59-5.50, making her 16th A-T Collegiate!
I heard this is the first under 60 winner in a few years at this meet!
Joyce Kimeli sought a double W in the 3K and 5K, but Courtney Wayment spoiled her party by taking the 3000 in 9:01.47.
Lauren Gregory took 2nd in 9:01.67!
Kimeli ran 9:02.79 in 3rd!
However, she did win the longer race, time of 15:48.98!

\Sage Hurta (Also one of my favorite names in T&F!) took the mile in 4:30.58, making her 17th A-T Collegiate!
Her splits were 2:19 and 2:11, with a last lap of 63!
Achera Nugent took the 60H in a non-PR of 7.92!

Katelyn Tuohy was 6th or 7th for much of the race, but faded at the end to 24th in 20:47!
However, she still ranked as the top Frosh!
Haley Herberg was 55th in 21:05!

BYU took team honors with 96 points!
North Carolina State's 161 took second!
