Cedricka Williams took down the national discus record Saturday highlighting the Barton track and field team results in the two-day KT Woodman Classic held at Wichita's Cessna Stadium.
Having broke the program best two weeks ago, Williams rewrote the record and then some on her third toss of the event marking a 57.57m (188-11) to better her collegiate best by over seven feet while blowing past the national NJCAA all-time furthest by over three and half feet. Just a freshman, Williams' personal best came as a high school senior in setting the Jamaican U20 record ten inches further at 57.84m (189-9).
In addition to Williams' accomplishment in the event, fellow freshman Ivanilda Semedo also bettered her best effort in finishing second on a 53.98m (177-01) throw to not only solidify her program second best slot but move into the 5th best NJCAA all-time spot.
Staying on the 8th ranked women's side of results and impacts, freshman Sanae Hassnaoui ran her way into the program's 1500m all-time placing with an event winning 4:26.29 time.
Two days of windy conditions prevented both the Cougar women and men from adding a few more to its national qualifying list but still recorded some wind legal and non-affected personal bests.
Ana Couto met 100m hurdle qualifying standards clocking a 14.58 time with Great Bend's Kyndall Blessing posting two new bests, improving her national qualifying javelin mark to 38.86m (127-06) and improving her hammer throw to a 43.29m (142-0) mark.
Highlighting the 5th ranked men's performances, Hamza Belkhalfi moved up a spot on the program's 1500m list to 8th all-time with a 3:53.92 stoppage to place second in Friday's event by a photo finish .40 seconds.
Both already qualified in discus, Christopher Young's season best 58.69m (192-07) placed second on the day ahead of Ricardo Hayles personal best 54.03m (177-03) in landing just outside the program's top ten.
Barton will next head to Waco, Texas this weekend competing against another top tiered level of competition at Baylor University's Michael Johnson Invitational.
