DULUTH, Minn. — When Kirk Nauman checked Weather.com one last time before leaving for the UM-Duluth Invitational Wednesday morning, he probably second-guessed his decision to send his Saint Mary's University track and field teams five hours north.

After all, the forecast was for temperatures in the 30s — and when the Cardinals arrived on the UM-D campus, snow flakes were falling.

Three school records and a provisional qualifier, however, certainly made Nauman feel a little better about his decision.

"It was a tough day to compete," said Nauman. "But everyone did a great job, considering it was 30 degrees and snowing."

Jenny Folgers (McHenry, Ill.) provisionally qualified for the NCAA Division III National Outdoor Championships, blowing away the rest of the field in the 100 hurdles, winning in 15.06.

Dan Gerber (Belvidere, Ill.) chipped in a pair of school records — winning both the 100 (10.93) and the 200 (21.96), while Rob Friendt (Ogden, Utah) shattered the SMU mark in the pole vault by more than two inches, clearing 14-6 to place first.

Yena Phillips (Red Wing, Minn.) added a fourth in the 200 (28.01) and a fifth in the 400 (1:04.26), while Aaron Raulin (Madison, Wis.) added a fifth in the 800, clocking a time of 1:59.98.

"It was good to see us break three school records, and it was great to see Jenny healthy and running the way she is capable," said Nauman. "With the weather forecast the way it was, I wasn't sure coming up (to the Duluth) was such a great idea, but everyone really came through.

"It was a great day."
