FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.- The University of Oklahoma women's 1600-meter relay team took advantage of a fast track and strong competition to record its season-best time at the Golden Spike Invitational today at the Randal Tyson Track Center.
Athletes competed today by invitation only in the second day of the inaugural meet of the center.
The quartet of Andrea Bell, Staneshia Bell, Alicia Emanuel and Jennifer Fontenot ran a 3:45.25 in the 1600-meter relay. The only other time the Sooners had run the 1600-meter relay this season OU had a time of 3:48.54. The time today missed the provisional qualifying time by less than four seconds. Junior Joey Scott, who finished fifth on Friday with a school-record time of 8.02 in the 60-meter hurdles, finished eighth in today's invitational hurdle event with an 8.17. OU' men's 1600-meter relay team, also invited to participate, did not finish the race.
In results from late Friday night, OU's Michael McNamara vaulted 16-02.75 and had fewer misses to win the pole vault and two other Sooners finished in the top five.
McNamara, a Tulsa sophomore, led all vaulters with his effort. Michael Westlund, a freshman from Choctaw, finished second with a vault of 16-02.75 and Chris Westfield, a senior from Ponca City, also jumped 16-02.75 but had the most misses.
Lindsey Harris, a junior from Edmond, vaulted 12-02.50 (3.72 meters) which beat the NCAA provisional mark in the pole vault. The mark gave Harris second place in the meet.
With a field that resembled a mini-NCAA meet, the win in the pole vault was OU's only first-place finish in the Friday evening action. Still there were highlights for the Sooners. Stanesja Bell finished fourth in the 60 and sixth in the 200. OU's Jessica Longfors, Bambi Carson and Megan Crystal finished second, third and sixth, respectively, in the shot put. Other top six finishers for OU in late Friday results were Alesha Peel, fourth in the 60-meter hurdles, Sand Swaby, sixth in the high jump, LaToyia Hinds, fifth in the long jump, Janel Hayes, sixth in the long jump, Michael Blackwood, third in the 400, Michael Jackson, fifth in the 400, Kyle Bookout, sixth in the shot put and Brandon DeKock, fifth in the weight throw.
OU returns to Norman to host the Sooner Indoor on Feb. 19. Action will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Mosier Indoor Facility.
