Feb 04, 2022 | Track & Field
LINCOLN, Neb. – The first day of the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational on Friday (February 4) was a success for the Kansas State track and field team, as senior Alex Ferguson (women's 600 meters) and sophomore Monique Hardy (women's weight throw) clinched first-place finishes in their respective events at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
"I thought the women in the 600 ran strongs," stated Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Cliff Rovelto. "They will both run in the 4x400 tomorrow. We had a couple qualify for the finals in the 60-meter dash and 60-meter hurdles. The women's weight throw was pretty solid as well. Tomorrow we have the 800, mile and 4x400's, all of which we hope to get some good things done.
Ferguson won the 600 meters with a time of 1:31.51, while fifth-year Macy Heinz was second with a time of 1:33.96.
Competing unattached was Hardy, who earned first place in the weight throw with a heave of 21.24m/69-8.25. Sixth and seventh place went to the Wildcats with sophomores Jasmine Greer throwing a personal-best mark of 19.05m/62-6.00 and Emily Fuhr with a mark of 18.63m/61-1.50.
Clocking in a time of 8.63 in the women's 60-meter hurdles qualifying round was junior Vitoria Sena Batista Alves. The Sao Paulo native earned sixth place and qualified for the preliminary race. Freshman Madelyn McCabe recorded a personal-best time of 9.09 and placed 12th, while junior Urte Bacianskaite clinched 18th with a time of 9.31. Junior Donovan Turner clocked in 8.59 in the men's 60-meter hurdles and placed 19th overall.
Advancing in the 60-meter dash is junior Shalysa Wray. Wray recorded a time of 7.59 and came in fourth, qualifying for preliminaries. Alves also ran in the 60-meter dash and came in 12th with a time of 7.78. Later in the preliminaries, Wray qualified for the finals after finishing with a time of 7.44 and placing fourth.
Collecting a personal-best time of 7.06 in his second collegiate meet was freshman Prithviraj Chougule, who finished 23rd in the men's 60 meters. Right behind Chougule was junior Nathan Hassed in 24th (7.07) and senior Parker McCafferty finished in 30th (7.20).
Jumping to a height of 3.82m/12-6.25 and tying for fourth was senior Tommi Hintnaus. Close behind and tying for eighth was sophomore Reagan Hukill with a height of 3.67m/12-0.50.
Junior Katie Kasunic finished fourth in the women's 5,000-meter run with a personal-best time of 18:01.79. Back-to-back finishes went to junior Helen Giefer (eighth, 18:17.16) and freshman Kate Kowalik (ninth, 18:36.36).
Closing out day one was junior Jack Moore in the men's 5,000-meter run.
The Wildcats will continue competition on Saturday (February 5) at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. Day two will start at 11 a.m., CT with the women's 200-meter dash.
