NORMAL, ILL. -- Drake junior Johanna Sprang (New Brighton, Minn.) set a school record in the women's pole vault at 12 feet en route to a fifth-place finish at the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship Saturday.
Sprang topped the previous mark of 11 feet 7 3/4 inches set by Jess Hetcko in 2004.
It marked the tenth school record set during the outdoor campaign by the Drake women's track and field team.
Drake juniors Beth Hamling (Council Bluffs, Iowa) and Ari Curtis (Fort Collins, Colo.) posted the fastest qualifying time in the 400 and 400 hurdles, respectively.
Hamling ran a season best 55.35 to advance into Sunday's finals. Curtis had the fastest time in the 400 hurdles of 59.05, just two hundredths of a second off her school mark of 59.03.
Drake freshman Briana Isom-Brummer (St. Louis, Mo.) finished fourth in the heptathlon with 4,336 points.
Isom-Brummer came close to bettering her personal best heptathlon score of 4,404 points set at the Drake Relays April 22.
Isom-Brummer, who stood in fifth-place after the first day of competition, tied for sixth in the long jump at 16 feet 3.75 inches, while finishing eighth in the javelin at 81-5. She closed out the event with a third-place finish in the 800 at 2:29.76.
Drake senor Courtney Heinz (St. Paul, Minn.) was sixth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in a season best 11 minutes 26.42 seconds.
Drake junior Tyse Samani (Kansas City, Mo.) tied for seventh in the high jump at 5-3.25.
Drake junior Casey McDermott (Newton, Iowa) just missed advancing into the finals of the 800 after running the ninth fastest overall qualifying time with a season best 2:13.26.
