Meet Results Liberty Twilight

LYNCHBURG, Va. - For the second week in a row, Martina Schultze reset her school record in the pole vault, this time by just under an inch at 14-3.25 (4.35m), today at the Liberty Twilight at Matthes -Hopkins Track Complex.

As she did a week ago, the sophomore passed until all competitors in the event were already done. She then stepped in and cleared her first height on her first attempt and followed that up by sailing over the bar at the record-breaking mark of on her next vault. It was Schultze's fourth win of the season and third since winning gold at the ACC Outdoor Championships.

Annjulie Vester easily picked up her third win in a row, topping the 60-meter mark for the third consecutive week. On her final throw, the sophomore's heave landed 200-7 (61.14m) away from her, more than 18 feet beyond the next closest competitor.

Freshman Johnna Dominick tied her personal best in the high jump at 5-3.25 (1.61m) en route to a third-place finish. The freshman cleared the previous two heights on her first attempts before making her final clearance on her second attempt.

Vester and the women's vaulters will join the rest of the Hokie throwers, sprinters, jumpers, vaulters and part of the distance team on Friday in Clemson, S.C., for the Bob Pollock Invitational.
