Three tracksters to the Hall of Fame

[tony]

Three track team members going into the Hall of Fame this year. Arden Beachy has been discussed but there were also:

Tamara (Gilmore) Sather, All-American sprinter
Penny (Ensrud) McLagan All-American high jumper (5-10.5!)

Nothing like having half your HoF class be track team members to show that, yeah, track is a big deal at NDSU.

Penny (Ensrud) McLagan All-American AND National Champion high jumper (5-10.5!) and wife of a frequent contributor to this board.

Assuming 5-10.5 is correct, anyone know why the NDSU all-time webpage lists her best as 5-8 3/4?
If someone has evidence (proof?) of the 5-10.5, they should probably send it to someone in NDSU so they can correct the (potential) error.

OK, here is a record of Penny Ensrud high-jumping 5-10 1/4.

So apparently, the all-time list has an error in it since it lists Ensrud as 5-8 3/4.

Outdoor vs Indoor. Her 5'10.25" and National Championship were both indoor. I knew it was 5'10.25" but just copied and pasted from the previous comment. I should have corrected it. My bad.
