She also excelled in the field with a third-place showing in the long jump, where she went a season-high 5.29 meters (17?41/4"). Liz Kooistra (Fr.-Lakeville, MN) timed in at 2:14.25 to take third in the 800-meter run. It is her best performance in the event this season. Anna Sutherland (Fr.-Roseville, MN) also cracked the top five with a fourth place 13.14 100-meter dash. Kjersten Holt (So.-Long Prairie, MN/LP Grey Eagle) also claimed a fourth place. She went 26.25 in the 200-meter dash, which is her season-best. Jane-Marie Ovanin (Sr.-Amherst) was the only fifth-place Blugold of the day.
