Titans Win UW-Stevens Point Invitational
|
The UW-Oshkosh Titan women came into Saturday's (February
24) meet in Stevens Point looking to prepare themselves for
the Conference championships next weekend at UW-Superior. They
did this and more, as they came away as with the team title
at the UW-Stevens Point Track & Field Invitational. The
Titans are obviously prepared to put forth their best effort
in the last few weeks of the indoor season.
UW-Oshkosh crushed the competition by scoring 177.5 points.
The closest team to them was UW-Eau Claire with 97 points. UW-Stevens
Points finished third with 88 points, and UW-Platteville fourth

Titans Easily Win Own Invitational
|
It’s safe to say that the UW-Oshkosh women’s
track and field team is prepared for the upcoming conference
championship.
In a tune-up meet held on Saturday (Feb. 16) in Kolf Sports
center, the Titans dominated a nine-team field. They used the
meet to display their outstanding depth. Their overall score
of 312 points was well ahead of the closest competition. Carroll
College was the runner-up with only 102 points.
The throwers destroyed the competition in the shot put and the
weight throw as they took thirteen of the sixteen scoring positions.
Peggy Seidler (Fr. • Merrill) led the way in the shot-put
with a throw of 45-10. This throw is her seasonal best and automatically
qualifies her for the national championship meet. Susie Trzebiatowski
(So. • Rosholt) also had a throw that qualified her for
nationals, but provisionally and not automatically. Her
longest throw went for 43-5 1/4. Ellie Sitek (So. • Marinette)
was third with a throw of 40-2 3/4. The Titans then swept the
fifth through eighth positions with Rebecca Masephol (Sr. •
Pittsville), Julie Falk (Jr. • Mukwonago), Hollie Ozanich
(Fr. • Green Bay), and Melissa Thies (So. • Slinnger)
all scoring.
Like the shot put, the throwers had a firm grip on the scoring
positions in the weight throw. In fact, they swept the
first six scoring positions. Sitek was the winner with a provisional
qualifying throw of 53-1. Masephol and Falk’s throws
also exceeded the provisional qualifying standard when they
threw 52-06 and 50-1 1/4. Thies, Ozanich, and Cassidy
Walsh (So. • Mauston) finished in positions fourth through
sixth.
The Titans also showed their critical depth in the 800-meter
run. Jessie Scheer (Sr. • De Pere) broke the 2:20 barrier
for the first time in her career, and led a sweep of the first
six scoring positions in the event. Scheer’s time
was 2:19.59, and she was followed closely by Heather Bassett
(Fr. • Minocqua) and Jordan Clark-Mand (So. • Waupun)
whose finishing times were 2:21.48 and 2:22.26, respectively.
Hope Scholze (Fr. • Melrose), Janelle Brooks (Fr.
• Janesville), and Samantha Helgesen (Fr. • Bristol)
completed the Titans sweep of the event as they took positions
fourth through sixth.
Ayla Mitchell (Jr. • New Richmond) made it known to the
rest of the country that she’s one of the top milers in
the nation. Her time of 4:54.98 is currently the best time in
the country at the distance, and automatically qualifies her
for the national meet. Her last lap of 36 seconds displayed
that she can mix endurance with speed. Brittany Haas (Fr.
• St. Charles, Ill.) ended up fifth in the event with
a time of 5:24.22 and teammate Allison Gehl (Fr. • Sherwood)
was close behind her in sixth place when she ran 5:27.02.
Even more depth was shown in the 5,000-meter run. Jenny Melville
(Sr. • Waukesha) won the event with a time of 18:43.01.
Her teammates, Katie Wondra (Jr. • Campbellsport),
Shannon Madigan (So. • Green Bay), and Cassie Peterson
(Fr. • Marinette), took the second through fourth positions.
Mallory Burk (Fr. • Athens) also managed to score in the
3,000-meter run. She finished sixth with a time of 11:28.00.
The Titan jumpers scored major points in their distinct events.
Anna Loveland (Fr. • Roscoe, Ill.) won the long jump with
a jump of 17 06.25. Hannah Kussler (Fr. • Greendale) also
jumped well in the event as she finished third with a long jump
of 16-7.75. Like Loveland, Kristi Konsella (Fr. •
Merrill) also won her event, but she did so in the triple jump.
Her jump of 35-10.50 set the mark for the rest of the
field. Ellen Buchanan (Fr. • Chippewa Falls) managed
to finish as the runner-up in the high jump with a jump of 5-9.75.
Nicole VanEgtern (So. • Fond du Lac) led the way in the
pole vault with a vault of 10-6. Three other Titans scored in
the vault. Katie Kohn (Jr. • Mayville), Melissa Walsh
(Fr. • Franklin), and Lindy Stein (Fr. • Kaukauna)
finished fourth through sixth, respectively.
The sprints also went incredibly well for the Titans on Saturday.
Camille Davis (Fr. • Green Bay) edged out Loveland in
the 55-meter dash by a nose. They both finished with times
of 7.48. Konsella was fourth in the event with a time of 7.58.
Davis also placed well in the 200-meter dash. She finished
second with a time of 26.19. Chelsea Benitz (Fr. •
Osceola) and Destiny Kafer (Fr. • Ripon) finished right
behind Davis, in fourth and sixth place, with times of 27.45
and 27.84. Andra Fabian (Fr. • Roscoe, Ill.) also managed
to score in the 55-meter hurdles. She ended up sixth with
a time of 11.30.
Amy Mlezvia (So. • New Franken) ran a seasonal best in
the 400-meter dash, and also took home a victory. Her time of
1:00.87 eclipsed he field. Mlezvia’s teammates, Sarah
Roswell (So. • Eleva) and Kait Stockheimer (Fr. •
West Salem), finished fourth and fifth.
The UW-Oshkosh women’s relay teams took home first and
second place. The 1,600-meter relay team ran a seasonal
best on their way to victory. Their finishing time was
4:05.43. The 800-meter relay team was narrowly beat by Carroll
College, but they finished as runner-ups with a time of 1:50.99.

Titans Take Second At UW-Stevens Point Invitational
|
The UW-Oshkosh women's track and field team can use
their meet in Stevens Point as a learning experience for the
championship season that they are about to embark on. It's safe
to say that they're probably not ecstatic that they came in
second place as a team to UW-Eau Claire, but the experience's
they can take away from this meet will only help in the coming
weeks. One thing to keep in mind is that the Titans have a lot
of talented young athletes who will improve as the season wears
on.
UW-Eau Claire narrowly edged the Titans in the team race by
two points. UW-Eau Claire had 125 points, while UW-Oshkosh had
123. The University of Minnesota-Duluth and Winona State were
close behind with 113 and 100 points, respectively.
Although the Titans know that they can perform better, that
doesn't mean that there weren't great achievements to be found
in a lot of different places on Saturday.
Two freshman led the Titans to fine performances in the sprints.
Camille Davis (Fr. • Green Bay) almost came away with
the victory in the 55-meter dash, but was narrowly edged by
.01 seconds by Liz Caine of Stevens Point. Davis's finishing
time was 7.43 seconds. Anna Loveland (Fr. • Roscoe, Ill.)
was close behind Davis with a time of 7.58 seconds which was
good enough for fourth place. Davis also sprinted well in the
200-meter dash. Her time of 26.58 seconds led her to a fifth-place
finish. In the 55-meter hurdles, newcomer Andrea Fabiano (Fr.
• Roscoe, Ill.) rounded out the scoring in the event with
an eighth place finish, her time was 9.60 seconds.
The Titans are trying to repeat past success in the 400-meter
dash by way of a youth movement. Kait Stockheimer (Fr. •
West Allis), another freshman, ran to a strong finish in the
event. Her time of 1:03.97 was good enough for sixth place,
and a lot like the Davis and Loveland in the sprints, she'll
look to continue to improve her times throughout the rest of
the indoor season.
In the 800-meter run, UW-Oshkosh had great performances from
many different runners. Ayla Mitchell (Jr. • New Richmond)
continues her dominants at the half-mile distance winning her
second 800 in as many meets. This time she had no problem pulling
away from the rest of the field to finish with a time of 2:14.35.
Her time is well under the provisional standard of 2:16.90.
Jesse Scheer (Sr. • De Pere) also had a strong showing.
After being boxed in early in the race, she finished with a
quick last lap to obtain 5th place with a time of 2:22.22. Another
freshman, was Heather Bassett (Fr. • Minocqua), finished
right behind Scheer with a personal-best of 2:22.67.
Both Katie Wondra (Jr. • Cambellsport) and Jenny Piskor
(Fr. • Eagan, Minn.) rounded out the 3000-meter run in
scoring positions. They finished seventh and eighth, respectively,
and finished with times of 11.03.49 and 11:04.45. Piskor is
another talented freshman that the Titans will be counting on
for the future. Jenny Melville (Sr. • Waukesha) finished
with a time of 19:11.68 in the 5000 meters. After getting caught
running by herself for the last mile of the 3.1 mile race, she
still managed to hang on to a third place finish.
With a lot of their top runners injured for the relays, the
Titans still managed to score points in both. An inexperienced
800-meter relay team of Davis, Fabiano, Kristi Konsella (Fr.
• Merrill) and Loveland still hung on to a second place
finish and a time of 1:48.23. The 1,600 meter relay team Mitchell,
Scheer, Jordan Clark-Mand (So. • Waupun) and Bassett also
offered a lot of fresh faces on it, but still finished fifth
with a time of 4:09.68 in a tough field.
The jumping events offered scattered success for the Titans.
In the long jump, Konsella led the way with a second-place finish.
Her jump was 17-0 3/4 long. Konsella is another young competitor
that these young Titans are counting on to lead them to a bright
future. Amanda Bonn (Fr. • Sister Bay) also placed well
for the Titans in the long jump. She finished in fifth place
with a jump of 16-0 1/2. Hannah Kussler (Fr. • Greendale)
jumped well, placing fourth in the triple jump with a leap of
34-10 1/4 and eighth in the long jump with a mark of 15-9 3/4.
Like Kussler, Becky Thomas (Jr. • Mineral Point)
also finished in second place, but Thomas did so in the high
jump. Her best jump for the day was 5-1. In the pole vault,
Katie Kohn (Jr. • Mayville) placed with a vault of 10-0,
which was good enough for fourth place. Melissa Walsh (Fr. •
Franklin) also placed for UW-Oshkosh in the vault. She finished
seventh with a vault of 9-0.
The throws continue to be a dominating presence on the UW-Oshkosh
women track team. The faces may change, but the positive results
remain. The Titans had three female's place in the shot put.
Leading the way was Peggy Seidler (Fr. • Merrill) in fourth
place. Her throw of 34-2 was a provisional qualifying mark.
Ellie Sitek (So. • Marinette) also threw a provisional
mark with a toss of 42-7 1/2. Her best throw was good for sixth
place. Hollie Ozanich (Fr. • Green Bay) rounded out the
Titan scoring in the event by finishing eighth. Her longest
throw went 39-9 1/2.
The domination continued in the 20-pound weight throw as three
more Titan women scored, and two more threw provisional standards.
Sitek led the way with a second place finish. Her throw of 53-9
3/4 was a provisional qualifier. Rebecca Masephol (Sr. •
Pittsville), also threw for a provisional mark at 50-0 1/2,
not to mention finishing in sixth place. Susie Trzebiatowski
(So. • Rosholt) rounded out the Titan scoring by finishing
in eighth place. Her throw went for 49-1.
