Kiley Sabin, Kailee Kamps, Coach Frontier, KeKe Burks, Angela Boushea

January 23-24, 2015

The first dual meet between the UW Badgers and Minnesota Gophers in 37 years provided a great opportunity for MTC Alumni throwers to hit some new lifetime bests early in the NCAA indoor season.

Kiley Sabin who is in her redshirt season in her first year at Minnesota p.r.'d in the exhibition discus event 46.39m (152'1").  KeKeBurks, jr, Minnesota, also p.r.'d in the discus with a throw of  50.04m (164'1").  Angela Boushea, sr. Wisconsin, p.r.'d in the weight throw 20.06m (65'9.5') which is the 3rd best throw in the Big Ten this season and the 17th best throw in the country so far this season.

Kailee Kamps, so. Minnesota, p.r.'d in the shot put 15.03m (49'3.5"), an amazing throw after a lengthy rehab from a elbow injury.  

It was awesome to see the girls compete at such a high level!  Best of luck and continued success this season.

Special Thanks to  Dave Figi for the in-action photos.
