Historically, no other athletic performance in NCAA Division II this week lived up to Stachia Reuwsaat's outing in the long jump at the UC Irvine adidas/Steve Scott Invitational. The senior from Black Hawk, South Dakota, recorded the top mark in NCAA Division II this year in the event, leaping 6.61m (21-8¼) to etch her name in third in the Division II outdoor collegiate record book.
In Irvine, California, over the weekend, Reuwsaat defeated the 2017 Mountain West Indoor Champion, Ayana Gales of UNLV, and 2017 WAC Indoor Champion, Kayla Wilson of Grand Canyon, as well as 24 other NCAA Division I athletes. In all of collegiate outdoor track & field this year, only four Division I athletes have posted farther leaps in 2017.
Reuwsaat also recorded a new season best in the 100 meters in Irvine, finishing ninth at the meet in 11.76 seconds to climb to 15th nationally in the event.
