Nina Schultz returned to Kansas State University and slotted in to help the team’s 4x400 women’s relay team score the best time at the Texas Tech Corky/Crofoot Shootout in Lubbock, Texas last week.
A sophomore who picked up silver in the heptathlon at the Commonwealth Games in Australia just three weeks ago, Schultz joined forces with teammates Lauren Taubert, A’Keyla Mitchell and Ariel Okorie to lay down a quick 3:38.50 race for the Texas Tech win.
With the Big-12 championships on the horizon, Schultz will be looking towards establishing new marks and improve on last year’s second-place finish at the NCAA championships in her freshman year.
She’s well on pace to do that, having established a heptathlon personal best at the Commonwealth Games, along with PBs in the 100-metre hurdles, 800m race, long jump and high jump.
