Rains Soaring into 2008 Indoor Season

Did anyone else miss the start of the 2008 track and field season?

We’ll admit that we did.

On December 8, 2007, inside the facility that will host the 2008 NCAA Division II Indoor Championships -- Minnesota State – Mankato’s Myer's Field House – the young season got off to a soaring start.

There, defending Division II women’s pole vault champ Katelin Rains (pictured) of Mankato broke her own D2 all-time best in the event by vaulting 14-0 1/2. Finishing second was Division II outdoor champion Jennifer Hensel of Moorhead State who cleared 12-3 1/2.

Another national champ in action was Bemidji State’s Sheena Devine. The defending D2 indoor and outdoor champ in the shot put opened her season with a 47-8 1/2 toss. Devine also won the weight throw at 51-1 3/4.

Look for Rains will be back in action on January 4 at the Reno Pole Vault Summit.

We’ll try not to miss that meet!
