EMPORIA, Kan. (Match 27. 2021) - Outdoor track is officially underway after UCM Track and Field sent a handful of athletes to compete at the ESU Relays. On day two, UCM picked up a pair of wins in the pole vault and two more NCAA provisional qualifiers.

Pole Vault
• In his first competition in more than a year, Jan Jansky came out with a bang. He won the men's pole vault clearing 16-7.5, an NCAA provisional qualifying mark.
• Jansky wasn't the only Mule to hit a provo. Jack Hodge and Reagan Ulrich also did as they each jumped 16-3.5. That's a new personal-best for Hodge.
• Not to be outdone for the Jennies was Cassie Jennings. She won the women's vault jumping 13-0.25 which is an NCAA provisional qualifier as well. 
• Freshman Molly Greene took part in the option portion of the women's pole vault on Friday night. She won that competition jumping 11-2.5, just shy of the UCM all-time top-10 and bettering all her marks from the indoor season.

Women's Hammer Throw
• Rachael Molloy threw the hammer for the first time at UCM and immediately placed herself in the all-time top-10. She threw 172-3 which is good for seventh in UCM history and placed fourth in the field. It's also an NCAA provisional qualifier.
• Also competing in the hammer were Baylie Bellin and Rachel Schultz. Bellin placed sixth throwing 159-2 and Schultz was 13th at 138-4.
