RECORDS FALL AT
DAKOTA COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Feb. 9, 2002

Northern State's track and field teams hosted the Dakota College Championships Saturday, competing against Black Hills State (BHSU), Dakota State (DaSU) and South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT). North Dakota schools Valley City State and Dickinson State were unable to compete in the meet due to poor traveling conditions.

Northern broke two school records Saturday, with Steve Gough breaking his own mark in the weight throw with a heave of 54 feet, 1 inch. That effort was also a Barnett Center facility record, as well as a Dakota College Championships record. Eric Longhenry also broke an NSU record in the 55-meter high hurdles with a time of 7.79 seconds.

On the women's side, Northern's LeAnne Ehrich broke the Dakota College Championships record in the shot with a put of 48 feet, 8 inches. NSU's Kim Heny tied a Dakota College Championships record in high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 4 inches.

In all, four Dakota College Championships records and four Barnett Center records were broken on the men's side. For the women, four Dakota College Championships records were broken and one was tied. Two Barnett Center records were broken.
