The Barton Community College women’s track and field team returned to familiar territory of taking on out of state competition this past weekend at the 46th annual John Jacobs Invitational hosted by the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma.  The Lady Cougars posted four personal best performances with two falling within the top twenty performances in school history competing against four-year colleges and universities.

Tamara Style posted a school history eleventh best time in the 400m Hurdles finishing third in a personal best and nation’s third best time of 1:00.70.  Vanessa Style was also well within national qualifying standards in the 100m Hurdles finishing sixth in 14.08.

Lydia Mato again made school historical news recording the fourth fastest time in Lady Cougar history with a 9:53.76 in a second place 3000m finish.

In the sprints, Brooklyn Polk posted a personal best 25.95 finishing 25th in the 200m while Widline Lageroy and O’neisha Glover placed seventh and ninth respectively in 57.12 and 59.17.

The 4X400m Relay team of Lageroy, Style, Polk, and Glover placed third setting a new season best and fifth best national qualifying time of 3:47.57 which also falls seventeenth on the school history chart.

In the jumps, Tasha Frazier just missed her nation’s fourth best leap in the Long Jump falling .01m behind her mark in a fourth place 5.94m leap.

The Lady Cougars will have a rare mid-week meet heading to Emporia, Kansas, on Wednesday competing in the one day ESU Midweek Open hosted by Emporia State University.
