The Monmouth College women's
track and field team finished third overall at the MWC meet held at Coe
College. Seven different women recorded individual first-place
efforts. Stacy Brown remained undefeated outdoors in the 100-meter
dash and Christine Stanton won the 400 meters. Freshman Tennille
McClure established a new college record in the discus (127'3"), and
distance runners Carrie Knauer (3000 m) and Kathleen Yarger (10,000 m)
both broke freshman team records in their events. Senior Jessica
Mills set a personal-best time of 5:08 in winning the 1500 meters.
Junior Dori Ternig ran strong races in placing second in both the 200 and
400 dashes.
The Scots claimed All-American honors at the NCAA Division III Outdoor
Track Nationals held at Carleton College. The quartet of Christine
Stanton, Christy Hickey, Stacy Brown, and Dori Ternig finished sixth in
the 4x100 relay. This quad was the first Monmouth College women's
relay to reach nationals and, obviously the first to claim All-American
recognition with the top 8 finish.
