NORTHFIELD, Minn. - The St. Olaf women's track and field team hosted the St. Olaf Triangular this Saturday, overcoming Carleton College and Hamline University in the 17 event meet.

St. Olaf's Gina Collins was second in the 55 meter dash, while teammate Jamie Mosel won the 400 meter dash in 1:08.54. In longer events, St. Olaf junior Abby Smith was first in the 800 meter run, crossing the line in 2:26.40.

Ole pole-vaulter Amie Fillmore won her event, vaulting 3.37 meters. At last weekend's Bethel Open, Fillmore provisionally qualifed for the NCAA championship meet.
