University of Nebraska - Kearney Athletics

Schmidt, a junior co-captain from McCook had a day to remember on Saturday at the Bearcat Open as she broke a 19-year old Loper standard in the weight throw when her third attempt flew 60-3. That allowed her to finish second and best the previous school mark of 59-11, set by UNK Athletic Hall of Famer Janet Boettcher in February 2001. 

Next Schmidt won the shot put thanks to a toss of 48-10.25. Nationally she seventh in the shot and 10th in the weight throw.
