BISMARCK, N.D. – Once again, javelin thrower
Jakob Braunstein had a big day and led the way for the Minot State track and field teams.
Winning his third straight meet title, Braunstein turned in a new personal-best throw of 206 feet even on Wednesday for the victory at the Marauders-Mystics Tune-up, and once again bested the NCAA Division II national provisional qualifying standard.
Improving by more than 13 feet on his previous best mark, Braunstein launched himself into the Top 20 in the nation and currently ranks No. 17 in the event this spring.
While he led the way for the Beavers,
Chase Snyder added wins in the shot put and discus, and
Nathan Trujillo-Aragon won the men's 110-meter hurdles, while
Damian Nino and
Casey McMahon each were second in the 400 and 800 meters, respectively, for Minot State.
Snyder won the shot with a throw of 51 feet, 4.25 inches and bested the discus field with a mark of 155-7 while Trujillo-Aragon won the hurdles in 15.19 seconds, Nino was second in the 400 in 50.98, and McMahon second in the 800 in 2:02.51.
On the women's side,
Summer Krebsbach led the way as she was third in the 100-meter dash in 12.86 seconds.
