January 26, 2004

Three Spartans from the women's track and field team earned medals on Saturday at the Red Simmons Invite in Ann Arbor.

Junior Mickie Rzepka captured the pole vault with a jump of 12-06, while freshman Cynetheia Rooks and senior Sarah Adelaine finished second and third in the 400-meter dash and the weight throw, respectively.

The men's team enjoyed success at the meet as well, with senior team captain Steve Manz leading the pack with a first-place shot put throw of 59-00. Jeff Kus, who ran unattached for MSU, took first in the high jump with a 6-09 3/4 leap, while freshman Jason Brown came in second overall.

Both MSU teams return to action Friday at the Notre Dame Invitational in South Bend, Ind.
