In its final tune up before next weekend's Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the University of Minnesota Duluth took part in the Warrior Challenge on Saturday at Winona State University, where three Bulldogs -- freshman Elizabeth Brunner, junior Breanna Colbenson and freshman Danielle Kohlwey -- won individual titles.

Brunner took top honors in the triple jump for the fourth time in six outdoor meets this spring with a leap of 37'-11.50". Colbenson, the reigning NSIC Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week who has already set a pair of UMD records (5,000-meter run and 3,000-meter steeplechase) in 2016, prevailed in the 1,500-meter run and did so with an NCAA II provisionally-qualifying time of 4:31.90. Colbenson's teammate, junior Caitlan Richard was second (4:55.28) in that event. Kohlwey, meanwhile, continued to build on her impressive collegiate rookie season by placing first in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.16.

UMD also received Top-4 finishes from sophomore Erica Kesseh in both the 100-meter (second place; 12.32) and 200-meter dashes (third; 25.97), freshman Lorna Meyer in the 100-meter hurdles (third; 15.72), freshman Taylor Amundson in the 400-meter dash (fourth; 60.50), sophomore Faith Murphy in the 100-meter hurdles (fourth; 15.77), freshman Megan Stuart in the 1,500-meter (fourth; 4:56.10) and 3,000-meter runs (fourth; 11:13.77), Colbenson in the 3,000-meter run (third; 11:13.77) and Brunner in the long jump (fourth; 18'-02.25).

The two-day NSIC outdoor meet is set to start this Friday in Sioux Falls, S.D.
