UW senior wins eighth-straight pole vault while in Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Wisconsin women's track and field senior Taylor Amann picked up her eighth-straight victory in the indoor pole vault to lead the Badgers on the final day of the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational.

Amann won her fourth meet of the year thanks to a clearance of 13 feet, 7 1/4 inches, a week after she broke her own school record in the event. Teammates Jane McCurry and Rayce Albino finished in fourth and sixth respectively with marks of 12-5 1/2 and 11-11 3/4.

The Badgers saw two top ten finishes in the high jump with junior Emma Haugen coming in third place with a mark of 5-8 3/4. Sophomore Isabella Weekly rounded out the top ten after a UW PR of 5-5, three inches shy of her collegiate personal-best jump of 5-8.

Fellow jumping extraordinaire Chinne Okoronkwo finished sixth in the triple jump with a mark of 40 feet 3 1/4 inches. Also in the triple jump Meagan Blair added another PR to her weekend, after securing a new record in the long jump Friday, by finishing seventh in the event with a jump of 39-10 1/2.

In the 600 meters, teammates Haley Lubow and Bianca Stubler both finished with new PR's in the event. Stubler finished third overall in the event after winning her heat in 1 minute, 35.60 seconds while Lubow came in eighth overall with a time of 1:39.78.

Gabrielle DesRosiers finished 11th in the 200 meters with a time of 24.83 while Hannah Wilson earned a PR of 25.52 seconds to finish 27th.

Wisconsin will travel to Ames, Iowa next weekend for the Iowa State Classic.
