Wingo placed second in both the pole vault and high jump events at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Pat Healy Classic on Saturday.  The junior's height of 12 feet, 4.75 inches (3.78 meters) in the pole vault hit the "A" standard and currently sits as the sixth-best showing in the NAIA this winter.  A total of 18 individuals competed in the event.

Wingo followed with a height of 5 feet, 2.5 inches (1.59 meters) in the high jump to earn that runner-up distinction among 14 competitors. 

Ramsey used a pair of NAIA "B" standard marks to win both the 1,000-meter and one-mile races at the St. Ambrose University Fighting Bee Invitational on Saturday.  She out-performed 23 other individuals in the mile with her time of 5:06.66, which is currently the fifth-best mark in the NAIA.

In the 1,000-meter event, the senior posted a time of 3:00.60 (sixth-best in the NAIA) to pass the finish line ahead of six other challengers.
