CLOVIS, Calif. – Nevada track and field concludes the second day of the Outdoor Mountain West Championships with Camrin Dolcini claiming Nevada's first podium finish of the meet after placing second in the pole vault Friday evening. 
 
"Day two didn't disappoint," said head coach Shantel Twiggs. "We saw season bests, personal bests, and our top athletes moving on the finals in their respective events. Camrin Dolcini earned silver in the pole vault and Rayven Nealey scored points in the long jump. We just continue to move closer to the final day and the goal is to show up and show out." 
 
Picking up where the Pack started Thursday, the heptathletes competed in the final three events to start off Friday morning. In the long jump, Valeria Paez-Rueda saw success in all three of her attempts. She started off with a season best mark in her first jump, tied her personal record mark in her second, and ultimately broke her previous personal record to jump a mark of 5.32 meters, finishing ninth overall in the event. Johanna Haas finished third in the event with her mark of 5.69 meters, while Kate Kadrmas improved throughout each attempt, recording a season best mark in her third jump of 5.12 meters. 
 
In javelin, Paez-Rueda shined out of the trio, recording a season best throw with a mark of 32.38 meters, placing eighth overall in the event. Haas' furthest throw came in her third attempt, posting a mark of 37.53 meters to finish in third place, and rounding out the group was Kadrmas, throwing the furthest in her third attempt (29.29m) to finish 11^th. In the final event of the heptathlon, the trio earned seventh, eighth, and 10^th place finishes in the 800 meters. Haas ran a season best time of 2:27.43 with Paez-Rueda finishing just behind her with a new personal record of 2:28.12, breaking her previous record by three seconds. Kadrmas posted a season best run (2:30.55), nearly missing her personal record time by one second. 
 
In overall standings, Haas put five more points on the board for Nevada with her fourth-place finish of 5,207 points, moving to eighth all-time at Nevada and earning a new personal record. Paez-Rueda secured one point for the Pack, finishing in eighth place by four points with a new personal record of 4,846 points. Kadrmas (4,527 points) finished 11^th, recording a new season best to wrap up the heptathlon. 
 
Sarah Marske kicked off a breezy Friday evening in the 100-meter hurdles as the lone wolf in the event, qualifying sixth for the final Saturday night with her time of 14.04.
 
Simultaneously, the four pole vaulters made up of Camrin Dolcini, Samantha Irwin, Hannah Watson, and Alyssa Carson all began their run at a chance to score some points for Nevada in the final of the pole vault. Dolcini earned a new personal record with her mark of 4.10 meters, now sitting at second all-time at Nevada in the event and picking up Nevada's first Mountain West medal after claiming second place and scoring eight points. Watson finished 12^th (3.58m), Irwin in 13^th (3.43m), and Carson finished 18^th, seeing a new personal record with her mark of 3.43 meters, besting her previous personal record of 3.18 meters.

Emily Costello and Annalies Kalma qualified third and sixth for the final Saturday evening, Costello recording a time of 53.94, and Kalma posting a new personal record time of 55.19, the sixth fastest time in Nevada school history. This will be Costello's second final on Saturday after qualifying first overall for the 200-meter dash final Thursday evening. Lilly Gregg finished 11^th in a time of 56.19. 
 
Bonét Henderson qualified ninth for the 100-meter dash final, running a new personal record of 11.83, breaking her previous personal record that she set two weeks ago at the Fresno Invitational. With this time, Henderson has the eighth-fastest mark in Nevada school history.
