ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Another school record was broken by Eastern New Mexico women's track and field this weekend at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Invitational hosted by the University of New Mexico.

The new indoor pole vault record belongs to sophomore Minerva Cerda Hernandez who vaulted 3.37m (11-0.75) on her first try at the mark. She opened the meet at 3.07m, which she missed on her first attempt, but cleared with ease on the next. On her next height, 3.22m, she just made it over the bar as her foot graced the bar at the top. Those two clearances set her up for the record breaking vault.

"I feel proud of that. It's a big accomplishment since I am only a sophomore," said Minerva Cerda Hernandez on breaking the record. "We did our best and overall, I think we did great."

Cerda Hernandez continued to compliment her teammates on the work they have been putting in to prepare for the season.

Short sprints continue to be a race to watch for ENMU. Jodian Stewart is on pace to be one of the top runners in the LSC as she currently has the fifth quickest time among conference competitors. Stewart finished the sprint this weekend in 7.78s. Also joining Stewart in the race were Jaliyah Denny (7.97s) and Journie Alexander (8.17s).

Helena Carboo-Klutsey is now the fourth fastest among the LSC in the 200m after a 25.27s time this weekend. Meghan Rodriguez (26.63s) and Devyn Ericksen (26.91s) also ran the 200m.

The 400m saw three Greyhounds compete in the event. Finishers included Carboo-Klutsey (58.42s), Cerda Hernandez (59.61s), and Rodriguez (1:00.18s)

Devyn Ericksen still ranks in the top ten in the LSC in the 60m hurdles. She completed the race this weekend in 9.66s.

Three jumpers represented Eastern New Mexico at this weekend's competition.

Journie Alexander and Jodian Stewart currently hold top 12 marks among conference jumps in the long jump. This weekend Alexander posted a season-best 5.22m (17-1.5). Stewart had a leap of 5.08m (16-8).

Celina Thomas stayed in fourth among LSC student-athletes in the triple jump as she tied her season-best mark. On her first attempt of the competition, she jumped 11.46m (37-7.25).

The trio of Kennedy Ulmer (12.57m), Catherine Green (11.35m), and Olivia Lucero (10.19m) competed in the shot put at UNM. They sit in the top 18 of LSC throwers after this weekend's meet.

ENMU saw Jha'Niah Johnson (13.82m), Lucero (13.80m), and Ulmer (13.48m) throw the weight in Albuquerque. The trio all rank in the top 14 in conference marks in the weight throw.

Eastern New Mexico women's track and field will get set for the Stan Scott Memorial hosted by Texas Tech next weekend.
