BSU's Prebel and SCSU's Miller Lead After Day 1 of the NSIC Multis
April 27, 2009 | Full Release 
ABERDEEN, S.D. – Bemidji State’s Zac Prebel and St. Cloud State University’s Heather Miller lead the fields after Day 1 of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Multi-Events. Prebel, the conference record holder in the indoor heptathlon, moved into the lead after clocking a 52.15 seconds in the 400 meters to end the day, overtaking Concordia-St. Paul’s John Pimental in the process. Miller, who also won the indoor pentathlon back in February, staked an early lead after the 100-meter hurdles and never relinquished it.
Pimental sprinted out to the early lead, wining both the 100-meter dash and the long jump to open the day, but could not hold back the steady comeback effort from Prebel. The junior made up significant ground in the shot put with a 763-point toss of 14.57 meters (47-9.75) before capping his day with a third place finish in the 400 meters. His time, however, was nearly two seconds faster than Pimental’s allowing Prebel to take over the lead heading into Tuesday’s events.
Prebel now leads the field with 3,597 points, followed by Pimental with 3,548 and Northern State University freshman Austin Suther in third with 3,255.
Miller started her day with a win in the 100-meter hurdles before faltering slightly in the high jump. Managing just 678 points in that discipline, Miller allowed Minnesota Duluth's Traci Pottinger – who cleared 5-4.50 (1.64 meters) – to close to within 30 points.
However, with a third place finish in the shot put and an 825-point performance in the day-ending 200 meters, Miller was able to distance herself from Pottinger and the rest of the field for a 196-point lead through four events.
Miller heads a 14-person squad with 2,897 points, followed by Pottinger’s 2,701. Wayne State’s Jade Lippman and Paige Pollard stand third and fourth with marks of 2,699 and 2,648 points, respectively.
