In
outdoor competition, the 100 meter men's
record, long held by stellar Jewell
track legend Clem Buschmann with a time
of 10.84 set in 1963, was broken by
Ike Nwabuonwu with a new record of 10.80.
In addition to the |
|
breaking
of Buschmann's record in the 100m, the team
in the 4x100m relay of Austin Williams, Chris
Glenn, Tim Bressman and Ike Nwabuonwu set
a new record of 41.85, surpassing the previous
record set in 2001 of 42.29. In the hammer
throw, Brad Begemann set a new distance of
165' 4", surpassing the record set in
2005 by Joe Gray of 164' 7".

The
women are also improving in outdoor
competition. Alexandra (Alex) Braden
broke her own record set last year of
68.47 with a new time of 67.71 in the
400m Hurdle. Amber Parker's time of
2:15.69 in the 800m run beat a record
set by Tatiana Lange in 2000. In the
4x400m Relay and 4X800m Relay, the teams
of Kendra Boswell, Jennifer Houston,
Amber Parker and Lynda French and Alex
Braden, Michaela Taylor, Sarah Rahal
and Amber Parker beat times set in 2005
by some of these same team members.
In indoor competition, Brad Begemann's
weight throw toss of 53' 11 ¾"
beat his own record set in 2005. Nick
Codutti's shot put length of 53' 1"
|
beat
a record held by D. Brown of 50' 07"
set in 1984.
A
new category of the 1600m Race Walk
broke the existing record with a new
time of 10:38.91.
In indoor activity, it appears Jewell
women are improving steadily with year-over-year
success, with records being broken by
some of the original record holders.
Again, Alex Braden broke another of
her previous records of 1:42.94 in the
600m dash, set in 2005, with a new record
of 1:42.61. Kari Van Pelt's length in
the weight throw of 46' 7.5" set
in 2005 was broken by Meg Sauer with
a toss of 53' 2 ¼" and Monica Silvey
broke her own record set last year in
the Pentathlon of 2,740 points with
a new total of 2,751. |
