FINDLAY, Ohio -
Competing at the Findlay Track & Field Classic Saturday, the Falcons continued to show their impressive improvements this indoor season. Although no team score was kept, the athletes competing for BG did what they did best.
The throwers continued their winning ways as the went 1-2-3-6 in the women's shotput. They had already done well the night before in the weight throw, going first and fourth. Takara Dunning won her second individual title this season, with a toss of 13.56-meters (44-06.00). Paris Bussey followed with 13.14-meters (43-01.50). Whitney Hartman rounded out the top three with 13.13-meters (43-01.00). Lauren Bryant finished off the dominating BG throws in sixth place, throwing a personal-best 40-11.50 (12.48-meters).
In the short and long sprints, it was Jessica White and Lacey Cochran who led the Falcons. White finished in second place in the 55-meter dash, with a final time of 7.21 seconds. Cochran finished in third in the 400-meter dash with a time of 58.19 seconds. She also finished ninth in the 200-meters in 26.57 seconds.
For the mid-distance, it was all Yemoja Marotta, who claimed fourth place in the 800-meter run, with a time of 2:27.55.
Jumping for the Falcons were Erica Wilson, Amanda Sefcik, and Sharonda Alexander. Wilson finished in third place in the high jump (5-05.00, 1.65-meters). Sefcik finished fourth in the long jump, jumping 5.38-meters (17-08.00). Alexander finished fifth in the triple jump, with 10.80-meters (35-05.25).
"I was very pleased with all the ladies who competed today," said head coach Scott Sehmann. "They continue to impress me and in doing so, they give Bowling Green a positive outlook as we wind up the month of January."
The Falcons have two more meets on their schedule ( Feb. 3, BGSU Quad, and Feb 11, All-Ohio) before taking a week off in tuning for the MAC Championships, which will be held at BGSU's very own Perry Field House on February 24-25.
Next Friday's competition (Feb. 3), will begin at 5 p.m. and will see many conference rivals.
