STANFORD, Calif. – Senior Erin Teschuk broke her own school record in the 1500m and defended her Stanford Invitational title in the event on Friday, highlighting the efforts of the North Dakota State women's track & field team at a pair of meets in California.

Teschuk raced to first place in the 1500m with a time of 4:15.30, cutting 1.80 seconds off the previous school record she established at the same meet one year ago. She won the event for the second straight year, topping an elite field that included more than a half-dozen professionals and post-collegiate runners.

Teschuk's time ranks second in the NCAA this season.

Junior Courtney Pasiowitz recorded an outdoor shot put personal-best of 51-03.75 (15.64m) at Stanford, moving up to No. 2 all-time at NDSU in the event.

Bison freshmen Brittany Brownotter and Emma Kusch Dahle both entered the NDSU all-time Top 10 in the 5,000m at the San Francisco State Distance Carnival. Brownotter clocked 17:02.05 and Kusch Dahle ran 17:02.92 to rank sixth and seventh, respectively, in NDSU outdoor history.

NDSU junior Allie Lahren posted a career-best mark of 18-10.00 (5.74m) in the long jump to win the collegiate section of the Stanford Invitational.

Senior Melissa Kitching clocked 59.37 in the 400m hurdles for a runner-up finish at Stanford – her fastest 400m hurdles season opener and the third-fastest time of her career overall. Junior Morgan Milbrath finished third in the 400m hurdles, running 1:00.00.

Sierra Rosenau (157-1 / 47.89m) and Alyssa Olin (155-11 / 47.53m) placed fifth and sixth, respectively, in the invitational javelin at Stanford. Katelyn Weimerskirch placed fifth to lead the Bison women in the invitational hammer throw, throwing 185-11 (56.68m).

Senior Ann Govig cleared 5-05.00 (1.65m) in the high jump for fourth place at Stanford.

At San Francisco State, junior Taylor Janssen ran 10:47.45 in her first 3,000m steeplechase of the season – the second-fastest time of her career. Junior Sydney Bork recorded a personal-best 4:44.72 in the 1500m.

NDSU will conclude competition at both meets on Saturday.
