WINFIELD, Kan. (April 25, 2015) – McKenzie Stanford tied Oklahoma Christian's outdoor high jump record and Makenzie Brown took top honors in the discus as the Lady Eagles finished their regular season at the Southwestern Relays.

Stanford jumped 5 feet, 8 inches (1.73 meters) to take second among 10 competitors in the high jump, setting a career-best mark and tying Charlotte Heron's school mark, set in 2007. Stanford's previous career-best mark was 5-6, set in her debut meet last month.

Like Heron, Stanford – a freshman from Perkins who will enter next week's National Christian College Athletic Association Championships in Rome, Ga., ranked second in the high jump – also is a basketball standout as well as a track and field star.

Stanford's teammate in both basketball and track, Brown, picked up her first meet win of her senior season in the discus with a season-best mark of 131 feet, 2 inches (39.98 meters). The senior from Savanna figures to be among the top competitors in the discus next week at the NCCAA meet.

Brown wasn't OC's only field-event champion on Saturday. Sophomore Miranda Ostlund unleashed a career-best javelin throw of 138 feet, 10¾ inches (42.34 meters) and will enter the NCCAA meet ranked second nationally in the event behind her sister, OC senior Katie Ostlund. Miranda and Katie Ostlund finished 2-3 at the NCCAA meet last year and Katie Ostlund won the 2013 NCCAA javelin title.

OC will have a third competitor in the javelin at the national meet, as senior Roxann Gonzalez posted a NCCAA qualifying mark of 96 feet, 9¾ inches (29.51 meters) to take fourth among the seven competitors.

Miranda Ostlund, who already has qualified for the NCCAA meet in the hammer, finished fourth in the event Saturday with a throw of 149 feet, 1¼ inches (45.45 meters).

Another OC basketball player, Audrey Hayes, will join Stanford in the NCCAA high jump competition, after jumping 4 feet, 11 inches (1.50 meters) on Saturday to meet the national qualifying standard.

In the sprint events, OC freshman Paradise Henson ran second in the 100 meters, posting a career-best time of 12.27 seconds, and took fifth in the 200 meters in 26.21 seconds. She has qualified for the NCCAA meet in both events.

Junior Kara Drewke tuned up for the NCCAA meet in the 400-meter hurdles, taking fifth with a time of 1:10.56. She also ran a leg on the Lady Eagles' 4x400-meter relay team that finished in 4:07.61 and already has qualified for the national meet.
