Isworth Sets UNM Pole Vault Record In Season Debut
Aussie is eighth Lobo to qualify for Midwest Regional Meet.
April 21, 2003
WALNUT, Calif. - University of New Mexico sophomore Bridgid Isworth soared 12-07.50 to set a new UNM outdoor pole vault record and earn a trip to the NCAA Midwest regional meet in her outdoor season debut on Saturday at the Mt. SAC Relays. Already the school indoor record holder, Isworth erased Krissy Owen's 1999 mark of 12-04.00 to finish tied for 11th in the invitational section. In other action at Hilmer Lodge Stadium on Saturday, junior transfer Ahmed Raji recorded his fastest 200 of the season, finishing 15th overall with a time of 21.46. Senior David Lloyd clocked his second- fastest time in the 400-meter hurdles, crossing the line in 52.70 (22nd overall). Sophomores Matt Keeran and Amanda Barnes led New Mexico in the throwing events. Keeran finished sixth in the javelin late Friday night with a throw of 203-03, his second-best effort of the season. Meanwhile, Barnes uncorked her second-best toss of the year in the shot put, finishing tied for 10th on Saturday with a mark of 47-07.50.
New Mexico will take next weekend off before heading down to El Paso,
Texas for its last regular season tune-up before the Mountain West
Conference Outdoor Championships. The four-day MWC Championships will
be held at Great Friends of UNM Track Stadium in Albuquerque, May 14-
17.
