MOORHEAD, Minn. – A pair of wins and a new school record for hurdler
Nathan Trujillo-Aragon led the way for the Minot State track and field teams Saturday at the Ron Masanz Classic meet hosted by Minnesota State Moorhead.
Trujillo-Aragon swept the men's hurdle titles, winning the 110-meter hurdles in a new NCAA Division II-era school-record time of 15.15 seconds on Saturday, the eighth-fastest time in the event in the NSIC this spring, then he added a victory in the 400-meter hurdles in 56.55 seconds. He broke his own school record of 15.32 in the 110 hurdles which he ran in 2021.
While Trujillo-Aragon led the way with his two hurdle wins,
Sidra Sadowsky added a victory for the women's team in the 1,500 meters in 4 minutes, 47.10 seconds, which ranks as the No. 2 time in the Beavers D-II era, as well.
Just a couple of the standout performances on the day for the Minot State track and field teams, which also got a pair of event wins from
Chase Snyder in the discus (152 feet, 10 inches) and shot put (50-4.75), and wins from javelin thrower
Jakob Braunstein (192-3), and distance runner
Charles Hardcastle who won the men's 3,000 steeplechase in 9:40.61.
And on the women's side,
Jessica Martinez turned in a career-best in the women's 5,000 meters, finishing second on the day in 18:30.86.
The Minot State track and field teams have one more regular-season meet left this spring before next month's NSIC Championships, competing Wednesday at the Marauders-Mystics Tune-Up hosted by the University of Mary and Bismarck State College starting at 11 a.m.
