BISMARCK, N.D. – Minot State head coach Greggmar Swift said he was excited to see what freshman sprinter
Summer Krebsbach could do.
Making her collegiate debut Saturday, the speedster from Max, North Dakota, went ahead and set a new NCAA Division II school record in her first meet as she finished fourth in the 60-meter dash at the Marauder Indoor Open hosted by the University of Mary.
Krebsbach was fourth in 8.01 seconds in the finals of the event in her first collegiate meet, breaking the D-II record of 8.09 seconds run by Mary Roy in 2014.
She also added a ninth-place finish in the 200 meters in her first meet, clocking a time of 27.61 seconds for the Beavers, who didn't stop there in Coach Swift's debut, as newcomer
Chase Snyder added a victory in his first Minot State meet, and returning hurdler
Nathan Trujillo-Aragon also added a win for the Beavers.
Synder, a sophomore thrower from Lake Andes, South Dakota, won the men's shot put at the meet with a throw of 50 feet 7.5 inches. And while not a school record, it nearly was as Snyder's mark ranks third in Minot State's D-II era.
And also adding a win was Trujillo-Aragon who blazed his way to victory in the 8.59 seconds, the second-fastest time in Minot State's D-II era. Trujillo-Aragon clocked the fastest time of 8.47, as well, in 2021.
While they led the way, the Beavers also got a second- and third-place finish from
Corbin Harris and
Hunter Clark in the men's weight throw as Harris had a distance of 50-10.75 and Clark a throw of 50-4, and
Dallas Reese added a third-place finish in the men's shot put with a throw of 47-9.25.
On the women's side,
Chloe Gunderson also added a second-place finish in the shot out with a throw of 40-4.75.
Having broken the ice on the indoor track and field season, the Beavers now get a month off for the Christmas and New Year's breaks and return to action back in Bismarck, North Dakota, competing at the Mike Thorson Open hosted by the University of Mary on January 14.
