BISMARCK, N.D. – What a way to set the tone for the season.

Freshman Jasiah Hambira cleared 6 feet, 7.75 inches in his collegiate debut on Saturday, finishing second in the men's high jump at the Marauder Indoor Opener and writing his name into the Minot State record books from day one.

Hambira's effort broke the NCAA Division II school record in the event and also is an NCAA national provisional qualifying mark, an impressive debut for Hambira. He broke the record of 6-7 set by Leif Nelson during the 2021-22 indoor season.

But he wasn't the only Beaver to impress on Saturday as the indoor track and field season got underway at the meet hosted by the University of Mary as returners Summer Krebsbach and Nathan Trujillo-Aragon broke their own school records on a great first day for Minot State.

Krebsbach, a sophomore, was third in the women's 60-meter dash in 7.95 seconds, but she shattered her own school record from last season of 8.0 seconds as she clocked a time of 7.89 in the 60-meter prelims Saturday.

As for Trujillo-Aragon, a senior hurdler who set the D-II school record in the 60-meter hurdles of 8.46 last season, he broke that mark his first time out this winter as he finished second in the 60 hurdles in 8.39 seconds on Saturday.

While that trio set the tone with record-setting performances, other Beavers excelled as well, starting with thrower Samuel Kreins who won the men's shot put with a throw of 46-6.25, and nearly made it a sweep as he was second in the weight throw with a distance of 48-6.

Junior transfer De'Andre Cornwall nearly added a school record in the women's 60-meter hurdles as she was second on the day in 9.20, fractions of a second off the school record of 9.16 clocked by DelRay Audet in 2016.

And the Minot State women's 4x400 relay team of Emma Walker, Alyssia Trigleth, Krebsbach, and Sydney Wilson added a second-place finish on the day in 4:15.60 for Minot State, which now gets more than a month off for the holidays before returning to action on January 13 at the Bison Team Cup hosted by North Dakota State.
