MIAC WOMEN'S INDOOR TRACK AND FIELD PERFORMANCE LIST (RACEBERRY JAM)

MINNEAPOLIS -- Led by a talented group of sprinters, including a 2010 NCAA indoor national championships qualifier, the Augsburg College women's track and field team will look to improve upon last year's 10th-place finish at the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Indoor Championships, to be held this weekend at the University of St. Thomas.

Shanek Telphia (SO, Chicago, Ill./Gage Park HS) will enter this year's MIAC championships looking to defend her 200-meter dash indoor title. Telphia, who currently owns the fastest 200-meter time in the conference this season, will also look to make her mark in the 55-meter and 400-meter dashes this weekend. Telphia's time of 59.62 seconds in the 400 ranks as the second-fastest time recorded in the MIAC this season, and is .02 seconds away from an NCAA championships provisional qualifying time. Telphia qualified for the 2010 NCAA national championships in the 400 last season. 

Joining Telphia will be a group of sprinters, including Ashley Carney (SO, Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville South HS), Katie Vrieze (SR, Richfield, Minn.) and Dawn Flowers (FY, St. Paul, Minn./Arlington HS). Carney, who currently owns the sixth-fastest time among MIAC competitiors in the 55-meter dash, will also compete in the 200-meter dash.

Vrieze, who will be competing in her fourth indoor conference championship meet, will look to make an impact for the Auggies in the 55, 200, and 400-meter races.

Telphia, Carney, Flowers and Vrieze will also look to contribute in the relays, where the quartet recently broke the school record in the 800-meter relay. The relay team's time of 1:43.83 currently ranks as the top time recorded in the MIAC this season.

Kacie Bahr (JR, Brainerd, Minn.) will look to suppliment the Auggies' point total in the 400-meter dash. 

Hurdler Caroline Senungi (SR, Shoreview, Minn./Mounds View HS) will compete in the 55-meter hurdles for the Auggies. Senungi, a former MIAC Athlete of the Week, currently owns the fourth-fastest 55-meter hurdle time in the conference this season.

In the field events, school record-holder Brittany Tuberg (SO, Apple Valley, Minn.) will lead Augsburg in the pole vault competition. Turberg finished fourth in the pole vault last season, and currently owns the sixth best height in the conference this season.
