Complete Results

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Holly Tokar, Samantha Eilert and Ariel Maroon each enjoyed outstanding performances at New Mexico's Don Kirby Invitational on Saturday, clearing 12 feet, 2.50 inches in the pole vault for the UC Davis women's indoor track and field team.



The mark was a season-best for Tokar, the defending Big West outdoor champion in the event, and was a career-best for both Eilert and Maroon who are tied for the fifth-best mark in program history. It surpassed their previous bests of 12-2 which they achieved at New Mexico last week.



Three of the top five indoor pole vault marks in program history now reside with the UC Davis' current crew.



The trio led the Aggies on the second day of the Don Kirby Invitational at the Albuquerque Convention Center. UC Davis, which tied or set two school records on Friday, had another strong performance from sprinter Ashley Marshall. Marshall, who tied her school mark in the 200-meter dash (24.33) on Friday, tied for 12th in the 60 on Saturday, crossing in 7.41 seconds. It was just off her school record of 7.35.



Catherine Li went 38-1.5 in the triple jump and Veronica Smart had a mark of 44-3.25 in the shot put for other Aggie highlights.



UC Davis, which concluded its indoor track and field regular season with the meet, will now turn its attention to the outdoor portion of its season which begins in three weeks.
