Ella Starzl (5-00.00) beat out the competition in the high jump to win that event.  "She is jumping with an amazing confidence that no doubt comes from the hard work she put in this winter in Hockey and finding time to take part in a jumping camp," noted Coach Welde.  "Ella also placed 3rd in the Long jump (15-10.50).  This made her the top point scorer for our team today. "

The 4x800 team of Estee Versteeg, Savannah Lee, Olivia Swanson and Violet McConn ran a 15 second PR (10:44.01) to start the Otters off, placing second.  

Estee Versteeg (5:48.50) and Cassie Wellman (5:49.40) both ran season bests in the Mile to bring in points for the Otters.  Wellman (12:43.50) doubled down in the 3200 placing 6th in her first 3200 of the season.  

The 4x200 ran an excellent race, finishing 4th (2:00.05).  Presley Warren, Becca Schindler, Ella Starzl, and Siiri Smestad were members of that team.

"Our 4x400 team was made up with athletes who had a very busy day of challenging distances," said Welde.  "The 4x4 is the last event of the day, and often we see tired athletes running.  All of these girls ran fantastic splits to place 7th (4:50.34).  Olivia Swanson, Alexis Wellman, Savannah Lee, and Rebecca Schindler.

Aubrey Seedorf placed in both the Triple Jump (31-01.00) and the Long Jump (14-06.00), finishing fourth and eighth, respectively.  "Aubrey is one of those athletes who has picked up right where she left off," added Coach Welde.  l"She had 2 season bests in those events."

The Otters are scheduled to compete on Tuesday at Bemidji State University.
