Ayers-Stamper in Second Place Heading Into Day Two of Mount SAC Heptathlon
April 13, 2005

Los Angeles, Ca. -- Danielle Ayers-Stamper of Seattle Pacific University made an impressive multi-event debut by winning two events and setting a personal record in another, at the Mount SAC Relays Heptathlon on the campus of Azusa-Pacific University Wednesday afternoon.

Ayers-Stamper (Jr. LaCrosse, Wa.), scored a personal best 3257 points over four events and finished the first day of the two-day competition 26 points off the pace of leader Aja Frary of High Performance Track Club.

A 2004 NCAA Division II 4th place finisher and ‘03 U.S. junior national heptathlon runner-up, Ayers-Stamper needs to score upwards of 5250 points to assure herself an automatic bid in the seven event competition at the NCAA Championships in late May.

She began by running the 100-meter hurdles in 14.11 seconds. Next, she high-jumped 5 foot, 7¼ inches and threw the shot 37-4 before finishing with a personal record time of 25.89 in the 200 dash. Ayers-Stamper’s time in the final event was a PR by over a full second. The junior notched wins in the hurdles and high jump.

The Mt. SAC Heptathlon resumes with the long jump on Thursday morning and winds up with the javelin and 800 meter run.
