Oklahoma Baptist had 11 automatic qualifying standards, including a new No. 1 mark in the NAIA, during the Oklahoma Christian Invitational Saturday.
Hannah Helker helped herself to the No. 1 time in the women’s 1,000 meters, finishing in 2:57.76 — nearly eight seconds faster than the runner up.
Verone Chambers and Aspen Marical finished 1-2 in the women’s 60 meter hurdles with Chambers coming in at 8.80 and Marical was at 8.83. Chamber, however, has a better mark than that in the books this year and is ranked second in the NAIA. Marical moved up to fifth in the nation.
In the 60 meters, Jura Levy and Chamber were 1-2. Top-ranked Levy has a better time than that this season while Chambers met the B standard in the race with the No. 6 time in the nation.
Nikita Tracey won the 400 meters in 58.33, which is an automatic qualifying mark.
Evan Shimanek (11-9) and Erinn Shaugnessey (11-5) went 1-2 in the pole vault with qualifying marks, but not their best of the year. Shimanek is ranked second and Shaugnessey fifth in the NAIA.
No. 2 Kenney Meigs was second in the women’s high jump at 5-4.5, which also is a qualifying mark, but short of her best leap this season.
Both OBU 4x400 relay teams won their respective events, but both have better times than the 3:50.27 for the women and 3:22.09 for the men. The Lady Bison are the No. 1 relay team in the NAIA, while the Bison are second-best on the men’s side.
Cordell Baker won the mile in 4:20.91,
Jeff Lewis (16-4.75) and Juan Gonzales (15-11) were first and second in the pole vault, but like the Lady Bison, have better heights this year and are second and fifth, respectively, in the nation.
Kameron Conely turned in the No. 8 score in the heptathlon at 4,610, winning the 60-meter hurdles (10.3), pole vault (13-10), high jump (6-3.5), long jump (20-7.75) and the shot (42-8).
OBU runs in the Mule Relays in Warrensburg, Mo., Friday and Saturday while the multi-event athletes compete at Wichita State.
