Southern women dominate early events
In search of MIAA Triple Crown, Lions pick up four gold medals on first day
From staff reports

MARYVILLE, Mo. — In search of a Triple Crown, Missouri Southern’s women scripted a perfect opening day at the MIAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Then the Lions outdid their lofty expectations.
Missouri Southern will take a 471/2-point lead into the final day of the meet. The Lions scored 92 points in just five events Saturday.
“It’s a great feeling,” said Patty Vavra, Southern women’s coach. “It’s (the Triple Crown) been a big deal since we won indoor (to go with a cross country championship). They want to do something that’s never been done here before and I think our seniors have really driven that thought.
“We we also know that as quickly as we scored our points (Saturday), teams like Central Missouri or Emporia State can score quickly, too.”
Central, the defending champion, is currently second with 441/2 points and Emporia State is third with 43.
A fast start wasn’t in the cards for the Southern men, especially when the pole vault was postponed until 2 p.m. today.
“It just got too cool and too dark by the time the women finished,” said Tom Rutledge, Southern men’s coach.
“So, we have some making up to do. It’s not going to be easy, but we’ll do our best. Today has to be moving day and our vaulters have to do their number.”
The Southern women scored 27 points in the hammer throw, 19 in the discus, 16 in the 10,000-meter run and 15 each in the pole vault and 3,000 run.
Senior Jessica Selby-Tallman won the hammer for the second straight year and teammates Emilie Mieseler, Jessica Self, Cortney Vie and Amanda Littlefield added a 3-4-5-7 finish.
Senior Erica Culver won the vault, with a season-best effort of 12 feet, and sophomore Ciara Lipsey finished fourth.
Vie, a sophomore, had a provisional qualifying mark for the national meet to win the discus, beating Kortney Holeman of Truman State by two inches with a throw of 148-2. Self finished third, also with a provisional mark, and Littlefield was sixth.
