COLUMBIA, Missouri – The University of Northern Iowa track and field program closed out the weekend with a very successful stint in Columbia, Missouri as the Panthers won nine events to cap the Tom Botts Invitational.

Keegan Tritle (shot put), Isaac Holtz (discus throw) Connor Ham (110 hurdles), Isaiah Trousil (100, 200), Bryce Newcomb (400) and Maddie Bell (400) all claimed wins on Saturday, while the relay teams of Cole Phillips, Isaiah Trousil, Elijah Hicks, Tayshaun Cooper (4x100) and Connor Blough, Bryce Newcomb, Jack Butteris, Tyler Bartz (4x400) took first overall in Columbia. Additionally, UNI posted 12 runner-up finishes.

Adding the three wins on Friday, UNI took first in 12 events overall at the Tom Botts Invite to continue the great start to the 2018 outdoor season.

Perhaps the biggest story of the day however was Jessica Heims, whose mark of 103-10 in the discus throw broke the women's collegiate American Paralympic record.

The Panthers also competed in Long Beach, California at the Beach Invitational as a small group of runners capped their West Coast swing on Saturday.

The Panthers will compete at the Drake Relays on April 25-28 in Des Moines.
