Northern Has Strong Showing in NSU Pentathlon

ABERDEEN, SD - Northern State University athletes took the top spots in the NSU pentathlon held on Friday in the Barnett Center.

Sophomore Katie Anderson set a new school record in the women's division with a 3,158 point total in the five event competition. The Groton, SD native broke April Hericks two year old record of 3,073 points.

Hericks now an assistant coach at NSU and Andersons event coach was also in the competition and placed 2nd. Anderson's point total presently leads the NSIC, she also is the NSIC leader in the 55 m hurdles and is ranked in the top 10 in three other events.

On the men's side Northern athletes took 3 of the top 4 spots in the event. Sophomore Jesse Heinz (Ipswich, SD) placed first with 3,321 points, Eric Schwan (Aberdeen, SD) also a sophomore placed second with 3,000 points and Ryan Rogenes a Junior (Glasgow, Mont) rounded out the NSU men in fourth place with 2,901 points.

Heniz, like Anderson also leads the NSIC in the pentathlon and has shown great improvement over the past year. The highlight of the men's competition was Heinz's high jump of 6' 8", a jump that was only 1/4 of an inch off of the NCAA II provisional qualifying mark.

The wolves again look to be very strong in the Multi Events (pentathlons, heptathlons, and decathlons) this year and are sure to continue the tradition started by Eric Longhenry, Lynne Nacke and April Hericks over the past six years.

The Indoor Track team will be back in action on Friday February 6 at 2:00 pm.
