Three School Records in Two Events – Stanford University Athletics

Three School Records in Two Events - Stanford University Athletics
ATLANTA –  The Cardinal broke three school records in just two events to start the NCAA Championships and finished in the top eight in both relays on day one.

“It was a fantastic start to the meet, especially coming off of the Pac-12 Championships, that was a heck of a meet for us,” said The Goldman Family Director of Men’s Swimming, Dan Schemmel. “For us to improve on our times and our placing was just fantastic.”

The Cardinal came out ready to make waves, breaking the 200 medley relay school record that was set earlier this month at the Pac-12 championships. Prior to this season, the record had stood for 13 years.

The time of 1:22.41 secured Stanford a spot on the podium for the top eight finishers. With the eighth place finish, the relay team of Leon MacAlister, Ron Polonsky, Andrei Minakov, Jonny Affeld became automatic NCAA All-America selections.

“I’m super proud of the guys,” Schemmel added. “That was the best time for Leon leading off, it was the best time for Ron, Andrei, and Jonny right on his best.”

The Cardinal kept the momentum heading into the second and final event of the day, the 800 free relay. The team was made up of Andrei Minakov, Luke Maurer, Ron Polonsky, and Preston Forst.

“Andrei and Ron were on both relays which is a tough double, and they held their own and put up fantastic splits so that was really great,” said Schemmel “All the splits across the board were awesome. In the 800, all four of those guys had best times.”

Andrei Minakov led off with a blistering 1:31.49, breaking Jack Levant’s record of 1:32.61 from 2018. Luke Maurer, Ron Polonsky, and Preston Forst kept the speed up throughout the race helping Stanford snag bronze with a time of 6:06.83.

This marked another school record, breaking the previous record set at the Pac-12 championships by nearly two seconds. The Cardinal’s third place finish was its best in the event since another third place finish in 2015.

Stanford will begin the individual events tomorrow morning in the preliminary round at 10 a.m.

“We want to keep the momentum going, it’s going to be a very fast session,” said Schemmel. “I think we’ve shown we’re ready to be fast as well so we just want to be competitive and get as many final swims as we can.”

The Cardinal will compete in 500 free, 200 I.M., 50 free, and 1-meter diving, and the 200 free relay tomorrow.

Demons win three events, set 30 personal records at TCU – Northwestern State University Athletics

Demons win three events, set 30 personal records at TCU - Northwestern State University Athletics


By: Matt Vines, Assistant Sports Information Director

FORT WORTH, Texas – Northwestern State track and field stretched its outdoor legs for the first time this season with a multitude of personal bests and event wins at the TCU Invitational on Saturday.

The Demons won three events in the meet with 30 personal records set.

“We had a good day today, and we’re getting used to being back outside for a full day since we were out here for about seven hours with temperatures up in the 80s,” said NSU coach Mike Heimerman. “We had a great start to the outdoor season.

“We’re banged up in a couple of areas, but that’s to be expected a little bit with the high volume in training. We’ll get healed up a little bit and be ready for Texas Relays this coming week.”

After Djimon Gumbs set NSU’s discus record and twin Diamante posted NSU’s third best throw Friday, the Gumbs twins weren’t through rewriting their own records.

Djimon Gumbs took home a shot put win with a personal best of 61-11, which ranks third all-time at NSU. Diamante chucked a personal best 54-10 to place sixth in a loaded field with throwers from Oklahoma, Baylor and TCU.

Two other Demons broke personal marks in the shot as Tarajh Hudson (50-8.75) and Landon Blubaugh (50-4.50)

Diamante Gumbs flung 168-3 in the hammer, another third-best mark all-time at NSU to finish sixth. Add  his discus from Friday, and he set personal bests in three events.

Pole vaulter Hayden Barrios captured an event win with a 16-1 mark amid a swirling wind that changed directions.

Female counterpart Madison Brown smashed her best with a 12-5.5, placing sixth. Three other NSU vaulters tied for seventh by clearing 11-9.75 (Annemarie Broussard, Parish Kitto and Karlyn Trahan).

An event win and personal best is particularly impressive in pole vault without associate head coach Adam Pennington, who was present for the birth of his son.

“A big congratulations to Adam on that,” Heimerman said. “I’m especially proud of the pole vault group today because it’s the most coach dependent event.

“The conditions were tough out there today. But Hayden got a win and cleared some bars. It was a big women’s field, and Madison set a personal record while everyone had to battle it out today.”

Pennington is in charge of sprints, hurdles and vault.

The sprinters weren’t going to be left out of the personal record chase Saturday either.

Destine Scott and Simon Wulff both ran sub-21 in the 200 meters.

Scott clocked a personal best 20.95 to finish third, and Wulff was just two-hundreths off his personal best with a 20.97 to take fifth. Others posting personal bests include Joshua Moore (22.02)

The 4×400 quartet of Junior Charles, Scott, Galen Loyd and Ebenezer Aggrey finished second with a 3:13.34.

“Scott had a phenomenal day,” Heimerman said. “He made up a huge amount of ground on his 4×400 leg on top of his great 200 meters.

“Simon has never run the 200 outdoors, which a little different from indoors because there’s just one curve instead of two. He’s just that good.”

The relay success was also evident in the 4×100, but it wasn’t from NSU’s top team. The ‘A’ team dropped the baton, but the quartet of Kavacion Webster, Dylan Swain, Evan Nafe and Loyd finished in third with a time of 40.39, besting Oklahoma’s ‘B’ team and UT Arlington’s ‘A’ squad.

“That’s an impressive time, and we know we have a wave of sprinters even behind our top guys,” Heimernan said.

The Lady Demons relays finished fifth (46.23 in the 4×100 from Lynell Washington, Janiel Moore, Taylor Shaw and Maygan Shaw).

One of the most impressive showings of the day came from a guy that hasn’t traditionally been a sprinter.

Usual jumper Nikaoli Williams clocked a 10.60 in the 100 meters to pair with a long jump win with a personal best of 24-7.25.

Evan Nafe joined Williams with a 10.60 in the 100, which smashed his personal best and tied him and Williams for second in the field. William Glover (10.81), Austin Simoneaux (10.86), Joshua Moore (10.88), Galen Loyd (10.98), Reggie Williford (10.98) and Dylan Swain (11.27) set personal records.

“We planned for Williams to be both a jumper and a sprinter, but he was beset with surgeries when he got here in the fall of 2020,” Heimerman said. “What a great day for both Nikaoli and Evan Nafe.

“We had some decent long jump marks from Andrew Gilreath (PR 23-2) and Keegan Broussard (22-8), who finished third and fourth.”

Javeliners launched their first spears of the season and some of their NSU careers.

Ashley Duffus led a trio of NSU javeliners with a personal best 129-11 to place fifth. First-time Abby McCain chucked 122-0 for eighth and Akira Phillip finished 10th with a 116-10.

Payten Vidourek chalked up a personal best in middle distance as his 1:56.45 came in seventh.

Sprinters Maygan Shaw and Aliyah Carswell each clocked personal bests in the 100, finishing 12.16 and 12.29, respectively.

Shaw followed that with a PR in the 200 (24.49), which finished 16th.

Hurdler Orsciana Beard’s 14.76 in the 100 hurdles is also a personal mark.

Jumper Jaslyn Smith posted two personal bests with a 17-3.25 (18th) in the long jump and a 37-9.25 (8th) in the triple jump.

Thrower Olivia Valliere crushed her best with a 42-7.50 in the shot put (9th) and a 124-7 in the hammer.
