35. Sam Cameron 55.62 WOMEN’S SEASON PREVIEW Leader: 52.97 After a 2010 season that brought tremendous strides for the program, the UNI women’s track and field team shows a lot of promise heading into the 2011 campaign. With a stronger team and improved depth, a very positive out- look exists for the 2011 season. UNI returns two NCAA qualifiers in senior Holli Hosch and junior Olimpia Nowak, and retains the entire 4x400m relay quartet that qualified for the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds and nearly broke the school record in the event. In total, 11 individuals who were MVC placewinners in 2010 also return.

Sprints Three Missouri Valley Conference placewinners will lead the Panthers’ sprinting corps in junior Michaela Brungardt 5 • UNI TRACK & FIELD and sophomores Sam Cameron and Lindsay Gierke. Cameron placed third in the MVC indoors and fourth outdoors in the 400m, while Brungardt took eighth and seventh, respectively. Gierke, a multi-events specialist, also placed eighth at the MVC Outdoor Championships in the 100m dash. Most notably, the Panthers return their entire 4x400m relay team (Ellen Kindelsperger, Holli Hosch, Cameron and Brungardt) that qualified for the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds and nearly set a new school record.

Mid-Distance Holli Hosch is back for her final season as a Panther, and she’s coming off one of the finest mid-distance seasons in UNI history. Hosch shattered the outdoor school record in the 800m with a time of 2:05.47 at the West Preliminary Rounds, earning her an automatic bid to the NCAA Champion- ships. She also claimed the MVC title outdoors in the 800m and took runner-up honors indoors in the event. In her final season of eligibility, Hosch looks to continue her re-writing of the UNI record books and lead the mid-distance squad up the conference ranks.

Distance The UNI distance corps will consist almost entirely of non-seniors, but those underclassmen have conference meet experience. The group includes senior Holly Tjaden, juniors Leah Blanchard, Carly Olsen, Jill Lageschulte and Danielle Nowasell, and sophomores Hayley Thomas, Scotti Schon, Lindsey Wilkins, April Davidshofer, Allison Fick and Hattie Buikema.

Hurdles Multi-event athletes Olimpia Nowak and Lindsay Gierke will contend in the hurdle events for UNI in 2011. Nowak placed second in the 100m hurdles at the MVC Outdoor Championships in 2010. Juniors Jessica Hale (100m hurdles) and Shawn Shaddox (400m hurdles) as well as freshmen Emily Roberts and Abbie Ackerman will also represent UNI in the hurdles. Roberts (Ankeny HS) won state titles in the 400m dash and 400m hurdles in 2010 and may also contribute immediately in the long sprints.

Jumps Junior Jenna Wexter broke the school record in the indoor pole vault and tied the school record in the outdoor pole vault in 2010, clearing 12-08 indoors and 12-07.50 outdoors. She returns in 2011 with an eye on climbing the podium at the MVC Championships. Olimpia Nowak also took fourth in the high jump at the MVC Indoor meet, and freshman Emily Wandling (Ames HS) will try her card at the jumps in 2011 as well.

Throws Sophomore Kelsey Sukovaty was the sixth-place finisher in the shot put at the MVC Outdoor Championships in 2010, throwing 46-09 (14.25m), and she looks to build on that performance in 2011. Junior Traci Harms and senior Rachel VanderHolt will also contribute in the throwing events.

Multi-Events The multi-events should be a strong point for the Panthers on the conference level, as NCAA qualifier Olimpia Nowak returns for her junior season with the Panthers. Nowak won the MVC pentathlon title in 2010 and took second in the heptathlon outdoors. Nowak holds the school record in the pentathlon with a score of 4,016 points that she posted during her freshman season in 2008, and she possesses the experience of competing on the conference and national levels. She will be joined by junior Lauren Lindaman, an MVC placewinner in both the pentathlon and heptathlon in 2010, and sophomore Lindsay Gierke, a fifth-place finisher in the heptathlon at the Valley meet in 2010. Junior Johanna Smith is also coming off a seventh-place finish in the MVC heptathlon.
