MENOMONIE, Wis. — After their last two performances, Saint Mary's University track and field coach Niels Anderson might want to consider Menomonie as his Cardinals' home venue.
 
A week after posting a school record and 11 Top-10 finishes at the UW-Stout Open last Saturday, the Cardinals made a return trip to the Blue Devils' Sports & Fitness Center to take part in the Warren Bowlus Invitational.
 
With much the same results — much to the delight of Anderson.
 
The Cardinals recorded a pair of first-place finishes and posted 13 Top 10 finishes in their second straight appearance at UW-Stout Saturday afternoon.
 
Rachel Ohde and Sydney Klausler led the Cardinals' charge, picking up first-place finishes in the high jump and long jump, respectively. Ohde cleared 1.58 meters en route to her high jump win, while Klausler uncorked a leap of 5.22m to win the long jump.
 
Klausler added a sixth in the 200 (26.85) for the Cardinal women, while Bailey Joens (high jump, 1.48m), Hannah Crowe (800, 2:36.84), and Anna Swanson (600, 1:44.00) all chipped in seventh-place efforts.
 
On the men's side, Christian Beamer led the way with a fourth in the high jump (1.92m), and Thomas Walker (triple jump, 12.84m) and Ted Sweet (600, 1:36.40) delivered fifth-place efforts.
 
Anthony Pasquesi (sixth, long jump, 6.07m), Matt Boone (seventh, 400, 52.59), Jon Meaden (seventh, mile, 4:37.31), Sean Curran (ninth, weight throw, 14.74m), and Walker (ninth, long jump, 5.71m) also recorded Top 10 showings for the Cardinal men.
 
The Cardinals are back on the track next Saturday, as Saint Mary's travels to Decorah, Iowa, to take part in the Luther Dual.
