ABERDEEN, S.D. – Three Northern State University track and field athletes exceeded either the NCAA automatic or provisional qualifying standards with their performances at Thursday’s intra-squad meet.  All three efforts, which will not be accepted by the NCAA as qualifying marks due to the intra-squad nature of the event, came in the field events.

Newcomer Trever Mau provided the night’s first highlight when he set a new Barnett Center and school record in the long jump with a leap of 7.43 meters (24 feet, 4 ½ inches).  Junior Andrew Rose followed with what would have been a provisional qualifying height of 2.05 meters (6-8.75) in the high jump.

Returning All-American and 2-time 2009 national runner-up Amanda Madden capped the evening with a toss of 18.01 meters (59-1.25) in the weight throw.  That effort was just nine centimeters off her previous best and current school record of 18.10 meters (59-4.75), set at last season’s national indoor meet.

The Wolves will kick off the 2010 season on Jan. 17 at the NDSU Bison Invite in Fargo, N.D. before returning home on Jan. 21 for a dual meet with the Jamestown College Jimmies.
