Luebke, a junior, won the weight throw with a distance of 50-7.5, and she won the shot put with a distance of 40-9.5.
Sara Poppe added another first for UW-W, winning the triple jump at 37-0.5, and Shelby Demos won the high jump at 5-3.25. Poppe's jump meets the NCAA Division III provisional qualifying standard, but she has already bettered that this season.
The distance medley relay of Alyssa Duncan, Ryanne Bell, Danielle Anton, and Madeline Roznos also broke the tape, timed in 12:57.19. Anton also added an individual third place finish in the 400 (1:02.04).
Other top finishes for the Warhawks included second place points from Tiera Barmore in the long jump (16-4.5), Megan Blake behind Luebke in the weight throw (47-3), Jackie Nett in the mile (5:36.57), and Kristen Heitsman in the 55 meters (7.72).
UW-W will be at home next Saturday to host the Warhawk Classic, the team's third home meet in four outings. The meet at Kachel Fieldhouse will begin at 12:00.
