LAST TIME OUT
Last Saturday's Jim Emmerich Alumni Invitational was highlighted by a new school record, changes to the program's all-time lists and several personal best performances for the Jackrabbits. While he already owned the school record in pole vault, Trent Francom cleared his previous best mark of 17-05.00 to steal the record from himself, clearing a distance of 17-08.50. Coby Hilton turned in a pair of personal best performances beginning with a 6.82 mark in the prelims of the 60m dash. The mark ties him at second all-time and is a mere .01 difference from his previous best that had him at third all-time. Later, Hilton would go on to finish first in the 200m dash with a personal best 21.19. The mark keeps him at second all-time at SDSU, but beats his previous best by .05 seconds. Reid Pierzinski found his name on the all-time charts, finishing second in the men's 400 with a 48.44 to earn the fourth-best time in school history. Samuel Coil recorded his second PR of the season. This time, taking silver in the men's weight throw with a mark of 67-03.25. He continues to hold down SDSU's second-best mark of all-time. Running unattached, Joshua Yeager picked up the new meet record with a time of 8:07.84 in the men's 3000. Yeager's mark is .58 seconds off of the facility record set in the SJAC by Kyle Burdick in 2018. Thomas Breuckman had a standout performance for the Jacks in the same race, turning in a second place finish with a time of 8:21.23 and took over the eighth-best time for SDSU. On the women's side, freshman Jaiden Boomsma ran a 7.71 in prelims of the women's 60m dash to take over the No. 7 spot at State. Ellie Friesen won the women's 3000 in 9:44.97 to pick up a new PR and the sixth-best mark in school history. Leah Hansen landed on the list with a 9:45.88 showing, good enough for second in the event and the school's seventh-best time.
