in emphatic fashion, breaking his own school record yet again with a mark of 19-1 ½ (5.83m) at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center in Ames, Iowa.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“You kind of run out of superlatives for KC,” head coach Todd Harbour said. “He had another good day. He had to work a little bit earlier, but once he got rolling he started
having a pretty good day up there. It was a great competition with Chris Nilsen there. I’m happy for KC. He’s just keeps on keeping on.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Lightfoot, a sophomore from Lee’s Summit, Mo., regained the No. 1 spot in the NCAA that he had relinquished to South Dakota’s Nilsen, defeating Nilsen (18-6 ¾, 5.66m) at the
Iowa State Classic with a school and facility-record mark.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Celia’s mile was a big PB (personal best) for her,” Harbour said. “To win and PB, that was a big day. That was definitely one of the highlights of the day, watching her run
that. It puts her in contention now in the Big 12.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Holmes won the women’s mile with a personal-best time of 4:51.99, while Seals took the men’s long jump title with a mark of 24-8.25 (7.52m).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Jalen had a great day and so did Alex (Madlock),” Harbour said. “Both long jumpers did a good job.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Kamden Jackson and Sydney Washington both earned spots in the finals of the 60 meters, with Jackson taking seventh in the men’s race (6.76) and Washington finishing sixth in

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“For Sydney and Kam, I thought that was outstanding,” Harbour said. “Especially for Kam just being a freshman. Those were two outstanding finals in the 60, both the men and the
women. To make the finals, that was really solid for both of them.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In the men’s fastest 400 meters, Howard Fields III ran a season-best 46.57 to take fifth place. Matthew Moorer also had a season-best time (47.02) to finish in 10<sup>th</sup>
place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“It was really good to see Matthew continue to drop, getting back where he wants to be,’ Harbour said. “Trey (Howard Fields III) ran a good race. He got in some traffic but finished
strong and dropped his time a little bit. I know he’s ready to go a little bit faster, but he’s continuing to move down. So that was good.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
