 SIOUX FALLS - Alexandra Webster of Northern State hit another provisional qualifying mark in the javelin throw on Friday at the Howard Wood Dakota Relays.

 Webster won the women's javelin throw with a mark of 131-feet and seven-inches. It was the third meet in a row that Webster has hit a provisional qualifying mark.

 "She has never thrown this consistently well before," Northern State coach Kevin Bjerke said. "Hopefully next weekend at conference she can pop one out and be in contention for a title and hopefully move a little higher up on the national list."

 Webster wasn't the only javelin thrower to have a good day on Friday. Teammate Kaitlyn Sturlaugson finished seventh in the women's javelin with a toss of 107-3. NSU's Devin Olson placed second in the men's javelin, while teammates Monte Meyerink and Dillon Dahl placed fourth and sixth respectively.

 The NSU 400-meter relay women's team placed second in the event with a time of :47.60 seconds, which is two seconds better than their season-best and just short of the school record.

 "They had a really good race," Bjerke said. "They were pumped. They have a lot to be happy for."

 Mark Gilkerson placed third in the men's feature 800-meter run with a time of 1:56.31. Sami Smith ended up in second place in the women's 800-meter run. She had a time of 2:17.61.

 "Sami looked phenomenal," Bjerke said. "In the last 150-meters, she really powered down the finish and had a kick like we haven't seen from her since earlier in the season. This is definitely the best race she has had this season."

 NSU will compete again today at the Howard Wood Dakota Relays.
