RESULTS

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The UNI track and field team picked up five event wins and 15 top-three finishes at the Black and Gold Premier hosted by Iowa Saturday in Iowa City.

The Panthers got it started with a stellar performance from Tayshaun Cooper in the 60m dash. He won the Olympic development section of the 60m with a PR time of 6.85, the first MVC athlete to break 6.90 so far this season.

Lyndsie Schinkel won the 600m with a time of 1:33.91, less than half a second off of her career best.

Alex Jackson won the unseeded division of the 3,000m run with a time of 8:38.87, a career-best time.

The Panther 4x400 relay team won with a time of 3:10.86. The mark is the fastest of the year for UNI and just less than half a second off of the Panthers' time in the NCAA Outdoor Regionals last season.

UNI took first and second in the shot put. Darius King won the shot put with a toss of 59-2.25 edging teammate Keegan Tritle by an inch.

Other top-three finishers are Patrice Watson (2nd-60H), Sven Van Den Bergh (3rd-200m), Maddie McCalla (3rd-200m), Jasmine Blue (3rd-400m), Evan Long (3rd-400m), Hunter Lavallee (2nd-600m), Katie Nimrod (2nd-800m), Wal Khat (3rd-800), Ben Ahlrichs (3rd-1 Mile), Alyssa Williams (2nd-1 Mile), Cameron Cantrall (2nd – HJ), Owen Minshall (3rd-HJ) and women's 4x400 (2nd).
