RIPON, Wis. - There were no team scores kept at Saturday's UW-Eau Claire Invitational, but the Red Hawks still had their individual finishes to hang their hats on. Four women and four men placed for Ripon, including four of those eight athletes in the top four in their respective events.
Leading the women's team was Brittany Dick, who placed second in the steeplechase with a time of 12:07.56. Erin Beggs also finished with a top four finish in the 10K, grabbing fourth place with a time of 42:18.21. The shot put saw two Red Hawks place, as Jenni Marcell and Cami Miller came in sixth and eighth place, respectively. Marcell also broke her own school record in the hammer throw with a distance of 132'11", but that was not good enough to place in the event.
The men's team was led by Cas Moelling, who tied for third in the pole vault with a distance of 13'5".75. They also received a fourth place finish from Demba Camara in the triple jump with a distance of 44'3".25. Camara also came in eighth place in the long jump, with a distance of 20'9". The Red Hawks earned a seventh palce finish in the 4x100 relay. The team of Moelling, Brian Felix, Vince Spratte, and Nic Veasley ran a time of 45.97.
Ripon will be in action once again this weekend, as they'll travel to Illinois Benedictine for a meet on Saturday. The event will begin at 10:00 a.m.
