ST. PAUL – The St. Scholastica track & field team or should I say the Scholastica track & field team competed at the Meet of the UnSaintly, hosted by Hamline University on Saturday.
Scholastica, along with a few other schools, had to drop Saint from its name to stay true to the meet's name. The Saints sent only about 20 members to compete today.
The Saints had two records fall on the day, both on the women's side. The 4x400-meter relay team of #Stacey Peterson# (
Sr.-Gilbert, Minn./Eveleth-Gilbert), #Hallie Miller# (
Fr.-Cologne, Minn./Waconia), #Nikki Hughes# (
So.-South Range, Wis./Northwestern), and #Jennifer Plaetz# (
So.-Lucan, Minn./Wabasso) became the first 4x4 team in program history to finish in under four minutes with a time of 3:58.31 seconds to place second, beating out the University of Minnesota.
#Rachel Miller# (
Fr.-Hinckley, Minn./Hinckley-Finlayson) obliterated her own school record in the triple jump with a leap of 36'-4” (11.07m) to finish second in that event. Miller also won the javelin throw with a toss of 102'-4” (31.20m).
