2/7/2023 3:23:00 PM

QUICKLY
The University of Regina's track & field teams combined to set two new program records and hit one U SPORTS standard as the Cougars competed in the Jim Daly Bison Classic over the weekend in Winnipeg.

DUSHOS SETS NEW MARK IN 60
  • Usheoritse Itsekiri broke his own school record in the 60-metre dash, throwing down a time of 6.62 seconds in Saturday's final to break his old mark of 6.63 seconds that he set in the same meet last year. Itsekiri also ran the 300-metre run for the first time with the Cougars, placing second with a time of 34.70 seconds.

NEIGUM CONTINUES ASSAULT ON RECORD BOOK
  • Fifth-year runner Kaila Neigum has already set the school's 1500-metre run record twice this year, and on Friday she broke her own record in the 3000. She finished with a time of 9:46.53, nearly 20 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher and almost 5 seconds faster than her old mark of 9:51.28 which she set at last year's Canada West meet.

STOCKHORST HITS LONG JUMP STANDARD
  • Erika Stockhorst uncorked a career-best 5.91 metres on her second attempt in the long jump. That leap gave her first place in the competition, vaulted her into No. 2 in the U SPORTS rankings in the event, and punched her ticket to the U SPORTS Championships next month in Saskatoon. Stockhorst also got the meet started on Friday with a season-best 11.88 metres in the triple jump to score a second-place finish and move up to No. 8 in the national rankings.

WOMEN DOMINATE LONG JUMP
  • The three podium finishers in the long jump were all Cougars. Besides Stockhorst winning the event, Joely Welburn placed second with a top jump of 5.78 metres and Sara Kozan finished third after matching her career high jump of 5.62 metres from earlier this season. Shelaine Pritchard added a sixth-place finish with a jump of 5.44 metres. The Cougars are dominating the long jump rankings with Stockhorst currently sitting at No. 2 in the nation and Stockhorst, Welburn, Kozan, and Pritchard all ranked among Canada West's top five.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS
  • Kelsey Haczkewicz won the 1000-metre run with a season-best time of 2:56.31.
  • Haczkewicz (1:34.52) and Neigum (1:35.14) finished second and fourth, respectively, in the 600-metre run.
  • Molly Lakustiak broke into Canada West's top 12 in both the 1000 (3:00.41) and the 1500-metre run (4:43.57).
  • Shelaine Pritchard had a season-best time of 8.90 seconds and placed third in the 60-metre hurdles.
  • Jonathan Podbielski (2:26.95) and Adam Mytopher (2:28.61) were third and fourth in the men's 1000.
  • Podbielski was also third in the 1500 with a season-best time of 3:54.16.
