The Whitewater women's track and field team competed at the Iowa State Holiday Classic on Friday, December 11.  The indoor meet marked the first of the season for the Warhawks. 

Twelve women competed for UW-W and there were many noteworthy performances.  Sophomore Megan Morehart (Edgerton/Milton) took 14th place in the 60-meter hurdles while sophomore Megan Blake (Waukesha/Waukesha South) finished eighth in the weight throw event with a distance of 14.48 meters.

Sophomore Sara Poppe (Germantown/Kettle Moraine Lutheran) finished fourth in the triple jump with an astounding 11.43 meters.  This distance is a Provisional qualifier and currently ranked first in the U.S.A.  It also broke the current school indoor record set by Stacey Hornickel ten years ago.  

In the high jump, Shelby Demos (Janesville/Parker) earned fourth place with a height of 1.58 meters.  With that performance, Demos is now tied for tenth all-time at UW-W.      

The UW-Whitewater track and field team will play host to the Warhawk Opener on Thursday, January 15 at 5:00 p.m. at Kachel Fieldhouse in the Williams Center.
