A quartet of local ladies re-wrote the record book at the 4th Annual Rick Scott Open Track Meet at the Crosslink Sportsplex in Clairmont on Saturday.

Jamie Wigmore took 6 seconds off of her own 2013 meet record in the women’s 800m, stopping the clock in 2:26.3.  Jessica Baraskewich (2:30.5) and Jackie Benning (2:31.9) were also under the previous standard in the women’s 800m.

Kirsten Manz also broke a meet record , the women’s 300m, with her winning time of 50.4.

Brandon Wladyko (800m) and Ian Keefe (300m) were the men’s victors in Saturday’s events.

The Rick Scott Open was the opening competition for the GPRC Wolves Indoor Track team.  The local tracksters next see action in two weeks time when they contest the Golden Bear Open Track Meet in Edmonton.
