STANFORD, Calif. – North Dakota State's Erin Teschuk continued to blaze a trail like no Bison woman before her, racing to a Stanford Invitational title, a new school record and the nation's No. 2 time in the 1500m on Friday evening.
 
But this time, Teschuk had company as she re-wrote the NDSU record books. Senior Maddie Van Beek broke NDSU's 30-year-old school record in the 5,000 meters by 30 seconds, and junior Sierra Rosenau extended her own Bison best in the javelin.
 
Three Bison women. Three events. Three school records.
 
Teschuk crossed the finish line in 4:17.10, defeating professional Emily Lipari – the second-place finisher in the elite section – by almost two seconds. She broke Laura Hermanson's previous NDSU record of 4:19.77 in the 1500m set in 2009.
 
The second-, third- and fourth-place finishers behind Teschuk in the 1500m were all professionals, including two former NCAA champions and U.S. Olympian Geena Gall.
 
The junior from Winnipeg, Manitoba, is now ranked second in the nation in the event. Last week, Teschuk posted the nation's No. 2 time in the 800m at 2:06.16.
 
Teschuk wasn't the only Bison to earn a Stanford Invitational title on Friday. Junior Sierra Rosenau won the javelin championship with a school-record throw of 164-0 (50.00m).
 
Rosenau defeated four women ranked in the NCAA's top 30 on her way to first place. She is now ranked 13th in the nation this season.
 
Van Beek's record might have been the most impressive of the three. The senior from Perham, Minn., ran 16:06.47 in the 5,000m, cutting 30 seconds off the previous NDSU record of 16:36.77 set by Nancy Dietman at the 1985 NCAA Championships.
 
At the San Francisco State Distance Carnival, Bison sophomore Taylor Janssen clocked a huge personal-best of 17:04.79 in the 5,000m to rank sixth all-time at NDSU.
 
NDSU senior Emily Lesser placed fourth in the invitational shot put at Stanford, throwing 49-08.50 (15.15m). Sophomore Katelyn Weimerskirch won the collegiate section of the shot put with a mark of 45-05.75 (13.86m).
 
Sophomore Morgan Milbrath placed sixth in the 400m hurdles at Stanford in a near-personal-best time 1:00.76.
 
The Bison women will compete at the Mondo Mid-Major Challenge hosted by Sacramento State on Saturday.
