The Gophers put down five different program top 10 performances in Chicago.
MINNEAPOLIS – The University of Minnesota track and field team posted five different program top 10 performances at the Windy City Classic at Gately Stadium in Chicago from Feb. 14-15. In total, the Gophers women picked up a total of three event wins between Friday and Saturday's action.
Erin Reidy was arguably the highlight of the weekend for the Maroon and Gold with the graduate posting a lifetime best 4:36.99 to win the women's mile on Friday. The time for the Illinois native goes down as the No. 2 in school history and shaved over five seconds off her previous best time in the indoor mile. The time of 4:36.99 for Reidy is the fastest time at Minnesota in three years (Abby Kohut-Jackson, 2022 - 4:35.36).
Earlier on Friday the Golden Gophers saw a breakthrough performance from Kitania Headley in the 600m. The true freshman put forth a time of 1:31.21 to win the event in Chicago, and put herself at the No. 8 spot in Minnesota history.
On Saturday Brooke Moore was the first to break through for a program top 10 performance. In the triple jump Moore pulled off the win in dramatic fashion with a mark of 12.96m (42-6 1/4) on her final attempt of the competition to win the event by one centimeter over teammate Diarra Sow (12.95m | 42-6) who jumped unattached. Moore's leap catapults her to the No. 7 spot among Big Ten triple jumpers this season.
The final program top 10 marks came in the women's 3000m. In a swift race Ali Weimer (9:17.85) was able to drop nearly eight full seconds off her previous lifetime best to put down the No. 6 time in school history. In the same race redshirt freshman Izzy Roemer (9:22.16) also posted a lifetime best which now sits at the No. 10 spot in Minnesota history in the 3000m.
Among Minnesota's non-victorious student-athletes, the following set notable season best marks: Maja Maunsbach (60m hurdles, 2nd overall - 8.21), Lexy Berger (Pole Vault, 3rd overall - 4.19m | 13-9), Sofia Condon (Pole Vault, 5th overall - 4.04m | 13-3), Grace Weber (800m, 14th overall - 2:13.62), Kendra Kelley (200m, 5th overall - 24.28), Zoie Dundon (Mile - 4:44.08).
A handful of Minnesota's unattached student-athletes made the trip to Chicago to compete in the Windy City Classic. Of those participants, here were the notable performances: Spencer Brown (60m hurdles, 5th overall - 7.77), Christian Martin (60m hurdles, 6th overall, 7.79), Dwyne Smith Jr. (400m, 3rd overall - 47.78), Sam Snitker (High Jump, 2nd overall - 2.03m | 6-8).
Minnesota's final indoor regular season meet will be contested on Feb. 21, at the University Fieldhouse. The Snowshoe Open will begin as early as 2 p.m. CT in Minneapolis.
