After the first day of competition at the 2010 MIAC Indoor Track and Field Championships, the Gustavus women’s indoor track and field team sits in first place with 89 points.  A fast start in the pentathlon, followed by a solid showing in the field events has put the Gusties one point ahead of second place, St. Thomas (88 points).  Bethel is in a distant third place with 41 points.  The event is taking place in Carleton’s Recreation Center in Northfield, Minn.

Gustavus totaled eight top five finishes and three event wins after day one, as Kaelene Lundstrum, Janey Helland, and Diana Scott were all event winners on the day.  Lundstrum took first in the high jump clearing 5’ 6”.  Her mark of 5’ 6” is a new Ties Recreation Center record, meet record, and provisionally qualifies her for the NCAA Championships.  Janey Helland won the long jump with a leap of 18’ 1.75”, which is also an NCAA provisional mark.  Diana Scott won the weight throw with a toss of 52’ 1.75” to become the two-time MIAC Champion in the event.
