A day after the Gophers produced two Big Ten champion hammer throwers, the men's and women's track and field teams recorded two more championships at the Big Ten outdoor meet Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Zoie Dundon, a redshirt freshman from Burnsville, won the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 10:09.56, best by more than 12 seconds. Anthonett Nabwe finished second in the shot put with a school-record 57 feet, 2¼ inches. The Gophers women were in third with 51 points through nine of 21 events entering Sunday's final day.
Gophers freshman Charles Godfred won the men's long jump at 26 feet, ¾ inches. The Gophers men were tied for sixth with 20 points after seven events.
On Friday, Shelby Frank won the hammer throw for the Gophers women at 222-5, and Angelos Mantzouranis did the same for the men at 246-6.
