Folgers, Koranda lead the Cardinals' charge at Wartburg Invitational

WAVERLY, Iowa — Saint Mary's University track and field coach Kirk Nauman found himself in an unfamiliar situation following action at the Wartburg Invitational Saturday afternoon.

For the first time this season, the Cardinals completed action without breaking at least one school record.

Not that that mattered to the Cardinals' head coach.

Jenny Folgers (McHenry, Ill.) and Ellen Koranda (Blue Earth, Minn.) led the way for SMU, as the SMU duo — both NCAA Division III Outdoor National Championships qualifiers a year ago — brought home third-place finishes. Folgers raced to third in the 100 hurdles, clocking a time of 15.36, while Koranda took third in her specialty, the 1,500, where she stopped the clock in 4:53.34.

Emily Bartusek (Albert Lea, Minn.) chipped in a fifth-place effort in the 400 (58.89), while also finishing seventh in the 200 (26.10). Folgers and Maria Roche (New Prague, Minn.) also chipped in seventh-place efforts, with Folgers clocking a 1:14.69 in the 400 hurdles, while Roche broke the tape in 2:26.11 in the 800.

Dan Gerber (Belvidere, Ill.) and Aaron Raulin (Madison, Wis.) led the way for the SMU men, with Gerber placing 16th in the 100 (11.25) and 21st in the 200 (22.78), while Raulin was 20th in the 400 (51.95).
