VCSU head coach Laquone Robinson<\/a> said he was impressed with the effort his team gave at Saturday’s meet.<\/p>\n “It was a true honor as their coach to watch these athletes give their absolute all today,” he said. “They gave their best efforts and pushed their bodies to new limits. They should be very proud of the hard work that prepared them for today’s performances. It’s exciting to see their hard work come to fruition and be rewarded. What a way to wrap up our indoor regular season and propel the team into preparing for outdoor.”<\/p>\n The Viking women had 18 different athletes accumulate\u00a0team points with a Top 6 finish at the meet.\u00a0Macy Dimler<\/a> was named VCSU’s NSAA Champions of Character representative for the women’s team on Saturday.<\/p>\n Robertson won the women’s shot put and set a new meet record on Saturday.

Entering this weekend, she had the third best throw in the nation.<\/p>\n Malsom entered the meet ranked first in the North Star women’s long jump and earned a conference title with a personal record Saturday. Her top long jump of 5.30 meters (17-4.75) was 4.25 inches better than her previous best and beat the second-place competitor by more than a foot. It is also the third-farthest mark in school history. Malsom also set a school record in the women’s 60-meter dash, recording a time of 8.08 seconds in the prelim race. That broke the old record of 8.12 set by Alexis Heidler last season.<\/p>\n The Top 6 finishers in each event earned team points.
