Fife and Rivera Named Most Outstanding Performers
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Track & Field wrapped up competition at home at the Tom Botts Invitational on Saturday, as freshman Mirieli Santos (Mato Grosso, Brazil) set the triple jump school and meet record. Following the meet, redshirt sophomore Sophia Rivera (Brentwood, Mo.) and redshirt senior Will Fife (Jefferson City, Mo.) were recognized as the Most Outstanding Performers for the meet following wins in the discus and javelin for Rivera and shot put for Fife.
In total, six program top-10 marks were set on the day, as Santos was joined by Fife in the shot put, senior Maya Cody (St. Louis, Mo.) and redshirt sophomore Nylo Clarke (Riverside, Mo.) in the 100m dash, freshman Georgi Nachev (Yambol, Bulgaria) in the triple jump and redshirt junior CeCe Johnson (St. Louis, Mo.) in the discus.
NOTABLE FINISHES
Santos, who also holds the indoor school record in the triple jump, won the event with a mark of 13.01m (42-8.25), which beat the previous school record mark of 12.71m (41-8.50) set by Hedvig Glomsroed in 2007. Santos set the meet record with her performance, and now ranks No. 15 spot on the NCAA West Region performance list. For the men, Nachev also placed first in the triple jump with a mark 15.60m (51-2.25), good enough to rank eighth all-time on the Mizzou top-10 list and No. 10 in the NCAA West Region.
After taking first in the javelin on Friday, Rivera responded with a first place finish in the discus, producing a mark of 52.71m (172-11) to earn the Most Outstanding Performer nod. Fife placed first in the shot put with a personal record throw of 18.77m (61-7) and third in the discus with a mark of 50.17m (164-7) to earn his MOP honors. Fife's shot put performance moved him to No. 5 all-time at Mizzou and No. 20 in the NCAA West Region.
Mizzou swept the 100m dash, as Clarke clocked a time of 10.35 while Cody crossed the finish line at 11.68. Clarke moved into sole possession of the No. 7 time in program history, while Cody improved her time which ranks fifth all-time at Mizzou.
In the discus, Johnson's mark of 50.52m (165-9) moved her into the Mizzou top-10 list at No. 8. The Mizzou women now have three active throwers in the program top-10 in the discus, as Johnson joins redshirt senior Gabi Jacobs (Bloomington, Ill.) and Rivera, who rank first and third, respectively.
Mizzou had six other first place finishes to total 11 on the day, including seven in field events. In the high jump, Mizzou swept the event with freshman Roberto Vilches (Mexico City, Mexico) clearing a mark of 2.20m (7-2.50) and senior Valeria Kostiuk (Kiev, Ukraine) winning with a mark of 1.65m (5-5). Jacobs placed first in the women's shot put with a mark of 15.24m (50-0).
Mizzou also swept the 200m dash, as redshirt freshman Jayson Ashford (Fairview, Ill.) won 21.15, while Cody won the women's race with a time of 24.03.
