Stephanie Barnes (So.-Sauk City/Sauk Prairie) earned a third place finish in the pole vault in her collegiate debut, clearing a height of 3.36 meters (11-0?). Jessie Owens (Fr.-Elm Grove/Brookfield East) also brought home a third place finish, posting a jump of 1.55 meters (5-01) in the high jump competition. Sarah Kasabian-Larson (Sr.-East Peoria, IL/E.C.P.H.S.) was the only other Blugold to post a top-three finish, doing so in the 3,000-meter run. She finished with a time of 10:52.44. Newcomer Molly Warner (Fr.-Mosinee) took fourth place in the same event, posting a time of 10:56.07. Christina Locke (So.-Racine/Horlick) took the final top-four finish for the Blugolds on the day, earning fourth place in the one-mile run with a time of 5:19.46. At last season's home invite, the Blugold women captured five first-place finishes. Stafslien was the winner of the 55-meter hurdles while Heidi Hancock (Sr.-Greendale) won the 5,000-meter run. The Blugolds also won the 4x400-meter relay. Bethel comes into the 2005 Blugold Open win one event under its belt.
