LAWRENCE, Kan. - Senior
Jasmine Mosley set a school record in the shot put at the Kansas Relays and the women's 4x100 relay had a strong showing at the Mt. SAC Relays to highlight the day of competition for the South Dakota track and field teams Friday. The Coyotes have groups of athletes competing at both meets.
Competing at the Kansas Relays in Lawrence, Kan., Mosley (Bellevue, Neb.) fired a shot-put throw of 50-3 1/2 - beating the school record by more than a foot. The throw, which placed her fourth against stout competition, was also a personal best.
At the famed Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., the Coyotes' 4x100 women's relay was a strong third at 46.49, just .57 seconds away from the school record.
