Butler track competes at two meets over the weekend

The Butler Community College track and field teams traveled to two meets this weekend - at Iowa State on Friday and at Highland on Sunday.

Cesar Sanabria and Kelvin Busienei started the busy weekend off in an amazing mile race at the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa. Sanabria won the heat in a national qualify time of 4:17.14, Busienei was not that far behind in a national qualifying time of 4:18.74.
 
Busienei then came back a short time later to qualify for nationals in the 800m. His time of 1:54.19 is one of the top times in the NJCAA and ranks him ninth all-time at Butler.
 
On the women's side at Iowa State, Carole Idolphine became the second Butler women this year to qualify for the national meet. She hit the standard in the 600 and now ranks as fourth fastest all-time at Butler in the event.
At Highland on Saturday, the Grizzlies brought home two first place finishes while the ladies top them with six victories including three by Fiona Masai. Masai won the 1000M, Mile and 3000M.
Remona Burchell continued her great freshman season by winning the 55M dash. Her time of 6.85 converts to 7.38 for 60M, this time is a new school record at Butler.
The teams will now gear up for the Region VI championships on February 17th, 18th and 19th.
