Dale Collier Inv.

KIRKWOOD, Mo. -- Heather Jenkins and Kim Pancoast grabbed first-place finishes for the Cape Central Lady Tigers at the 14-team Dale Collier Invitational at Kirkwood High School.

Jenkins won with a distance of 37 feet, 1 inch in the shot put, a competition that had to be held twice due to a controversy over shot weight inconsistencies. Jenkins had thrown 40 feet in the original competition.

Pancoast was just one second off the school record in winning the 1600 meters in 5:16.7.

Team scores were not kept in the competition.

In a nine-team meet held Friday at Poplar Bluff, Cape Central's boys finished second in the team competition. The Tigers finished with 109 points while Poplar Bluff won with 175.

Mark Stone turned in the lone Tiger victory, running 4:36.44 in the 1600.
