March 29, 2008 Seattle, WA – Saint Martin’s set three new school records on a cold and windy day at the UW Outdoor Preview Meet on Saturday at Huskey Stadium. Freshman Sam Washington again set new standards for SMU in both the men’s hammer and shot put. Washington smashed the previous school record in the hammer by almost 24 feet with a throw of 114’ 2”. In the shot put he added two more inches to the record he set three weeks ago with 48’ 6.25”, giving him a second place finish. In the women’s hammer Jillian Blake posted a throw of 105’ 8” to beat the previous best by seven inches. Chelsi Claussen picked up two second place finishes in the 100m and 400m hurdles. She finished with a time of 16.41 in the 100m and 1:08.03 in the 400m. Mike Vavricka got a personal record and GNAC provisional qualifying mark in the men’s shot put with a throw of 40’ 11” while Jessie Dunnam also earned a GNAC provisional qualifying time in the women’s 3000m with a time of 11:00.43. The Saints next meet will be the UPS Invitational on April 5.
