BLUFFTON, Ohio -  Bluffton's Terrill Webb (Kenton) shattered her own school record by a foot in the pole vault at the All-Ohio Championships Saturday and has been named the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Women’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week. It marks the second straight week that a Beaver has captured the women's HCAC Field Athlete of the Week honor following D'Nae Reese (Columbus, Ohio/Upper Arlington) who broke school records in the shot and discus at the Marv Frye Invitational.

The junior won the pole vault at the All-Ohio meet with a winning vault of 12’ 6”. The effort is the fourth best in NCAA Division III this outdoor season and qualifies Webb for the NCAA championship meet.

“Despite fighting some technical issues on the runway, Terrill was able to rely on her training to accomplish two of her goals for this season: earning her first All-Ohio win and placing herself in good position for the NCAA outdoor championship,” said vault coach Clint Dillon. “The icing on the cake was that her clearance was also a new school record. Moving forward, this clearance allows us to focus on the HCAC championship and our preparations for the NCAA meet.”

The Beavers will travel to Ohio Northern University on Friday, April 22, and Saturday, April 23, to compete in the Polar Bear Invitational. Men’s and women’s hammer and javelin will be contested on Friday, starting at 3 p.m. Field events resume Saturday at 10 a.m. with track events commencing at noon.
