RIVER FALLS, Wis. -- Emily Diener and Irene Gibson each claimed individual titles and Macalester had 30 scoring places totalling 173 points to claim the team title at the Falcon Winter Invitational at Wisconsin-River Falls.

Diener, who won the 400-meter dash in one minute, 2.32 seconds, also ran the leadoff legs for the 4x200 and 4x400 relays, both of which finished second. She was joined by Anik Regan, Hannah Sonsalla and Erin Ortiz in the 4x200, which finished in 1:48.69, while Gibson ran the anchor leg of the 4x400 with Ortiz and Sonsalla running the second and third legs, respective, to finish in 4:13.54.

Gibson won the 600-meter run in 1:44.50 and the Scots took five places in the event to score 31 points as Ingrid Greene was second, 1:44.88, Carmen Garson-Shumway was third, 1:46.23, Ellen Brady fourth, 1:47.67, and Izzy Ballet seventh, 1:56.05.

Sarah Silbert delivered points in three events, placing third in the triple jump with an effort of 9.73 meters (32 feet, 3 inches) while placing sixth in both the long jump (4.57m/15-0), and the 55-meter hurdles (9.18).

Brooke Hunter finished second in the 55-meter hurdles, giving the Scots 12 points in the event. Hunter's time of 8.67 moved her into fifth place on the school's all-time list in the event. She lowered her time from the preliminaries by .24 seconds, having posted the fastest preliminary time of the day in 8.91.

Sonsalla also turned in a second-place effort with a time of 26.94 in the 200-meter dash and, in addition to the two relays, added five points by placing fourth in the 55-meter dash (7.59).

Macalester also got a second-place finish from Meghan Klapper, who tied for the best effort in the high jump (1.53m/5-0 1/4) but was beaten out for first place on a tie breaker.
