Weber State hosted the WSU Winter Indoor Open Friday and Saturday in the first indoor meet of the season.
The Wildcats took home 13 titles in the event that included athletes from BYU, Colorado Mesa, Idaho State, Utah Valley and Westminster.
The Weber State women's team had the top individual finisher in seven events and the men's team claimed first in six events.
WSU freshman Starlee Woodbury set two Weber State freshman records in her first career meet. She won the title in the 55 meters at 7.09, the eighth fastest in WSU history. She also was second in the 55 meter hurdles at 8.03, tied for the fourth fastest in school history and a new freshman record.
Freshmen Brinn Jensen and Kate Sorenson were first and second in the 400 meters and Michaella Hintze was the top finisher in the 800 meters at 2:16.78. Summer Harper won the 3,000 meters with a career best time of 10:10.26.
In the field events, Terrell Womack posted a WSU all-time top 10 mark in the weight throw at 51-09.75. The Wildcats also dominated in the high jump, placing the top five positions, with Abbigael Brecht, Annie Watts and Lindsey Johnson all finishing first at 5-05.75.
Freshman Cidnee Davies won the long jump at 18-10.75, the sixth best jump in WSU indoor history. Davies also finished third in the 55 meter hurdles with the 10th fastest time at 8.17. Paige Cooper also took the title in the triple jump at 36-02.25.
"This was a really good opening meet for us with some great performances," said WSU women's head coach Paul Pilkington.
On the men's side, the Wildcats had six first place finishes and had three marks that made the all-time top ten list. Freshman Nick Benham finished second in the shot put with a mark of 55-04.25, which is the fourth best mark in school history, in his first career meet. Nathan Dunivan was the top collegiate finisher in the weight throw with a mark of 60-00.25, the fifth best in WSU history. Brendan Shelley had the eighth best mark in the pole vault at 15-05.00.
Seth Fortin was first place in the 200 meters, Daute Atkinson took first in the 400 meters and Tracen Warnick won the mile run. Anthony Gregory won the high jump at 6-08.00 and the Wildcats won the 1600 meter relay with a time of 3:22.98.
"I was very pleased with our energy, focus and toughness today," said WSU men's head coach Corbin Talley. "It's such an early meet we were primarily looking for some opening marks. This meet was about gaining experience and figuring some things out for the coming months. The team is coming together and we've had guys step up through performance and leadership."
Weber State is next in action at the Snake River Open January 12-13 in Pocatello.
