Wisconsin-Oshkosh's dynamic duo of Liz Woodworth and Robyn Jarocki dominated the Division III Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships May 27-29 at Millikin, each turning in record performances and together collecting three individual titles as the Titans won the team title.

The victory was Wisconsin-Oshkosh's sixth at the meet, but first since 1997, tying the Titans with Christopher Newport for most Division III outdoor track team titles.

Woodworth won her third straight 800-meter run title and also collected her first 1,500-meter crown, winning the latter race in record time and outpacing two-time defending champion Missy Buttry of Wartburg in the process. The senior posted an Olympic Trials qualifying time of 4:15.20 in the 1,500, which bettered Buttry's year-old record in the event by more than five seconds and gave Woodworth a career total of four outdoor titles to go with three indoor 800-meter wins.

Meanwhile, Jarocki won the hammer throw with a record toss of 58.63 meters (192 feet, 4 inches) and also scored with a third-place finish in the discus throw and fourth-place finish in the shot put.

Combined, Woodworth and Jarocki scored 41 of the team's 57 points as the Titans completed a sweep of this year's indoor and outdoor team titles. The duo repeated a feat they accomplished at the indoor championships in March, with Woodworth's selection as most outstanding track performer and Jarocki's selection as most outstanding field athlete.

However, unlike Wisconsin-Oshkosh's
28 1/2 point victory at the indoor meet, the competition for the outdoor team title was close, as Calvin finished only 2.7 points behind the Titans despite the fact that the Knights did not win a single event.

The Knights scored points in 10 of the meet's 21 events, including a second-place finish by Katie Corner ahead of Jarocki in the discus throw and Kimberly Vanderzee's tie with three other jumpers for second place in the high jump.

Calvin made once last lunge at catching Wisconsin-Oshkosh in the meet's final event, but the Knights' third-place finish in the 1,600-meter relay wasn't quite enough to catch the Titans.

Defending champion Wheaton (Massachusetts) finished third at the meet as Amber James concluded her standout career with her fourth straight victory in the 400-meter run and third straight title in the 200-meter run. Her seven titles overall in Division III outdoor competition ties James with Kim Oden of Nebraska Wesleyan for the second-highest total of individual career outdoor victories, trailing only Rhondale Jones of Lincoln (Pennsylvania), who won nine events.

James and Darcel Edwards of McMurray each equaled another championships record, joining Oden and triple jumper Eleena Zhelezov of Brandeis as the only four-time winners of an event. Edwards collected her fourth straight victory in the triple jump, and also finished second in the long jump, an event she won last year.

Wartburg finished fourth, largely on the strength of Buttry's successful defense of her title in the 5,000-meter run and her second-place finish in the 1,500. The College of New Jersey swept the meet's two relay events and Tiffany Clark finished second behind James in the 400-meter dash as the Lions finished fifth in the team standings.

Three other competitors joined Woodworth and Jarocki in setting records during the meet, led by Elizabeth Wanless of Bates, who completed a sweep of this year's indoor and outdoor shot put events. Wanless, who also set the indoor record in March, bettered the 16-year-old outdoor mark by two feet.

Also recording new marks were Julia Rudd of Wisconsin-La Crosse, who beat a year-old mark in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, and Raegan Schultz of Central (Iowa), who improved on a five-year-old mark in the heptathlon.
