Women's College Indoor Track and Field
Southern Maine Win State Title For Second Straight Year

        LEWISTON, Maine  --  Junior Melissa Bellemore (Manchester, N.H./West) and sophomore Pam Yomoah (Auburn, Maine/Edward Little) each won a pair of events to help the University of Southern Maine Huskies women's indoor track and field team successfully defend its title at the 2006 State of Maine Championships held Friday night at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
       The Huskies took the team title earning 174 points to edge out Bowdoin College which finished with 143 points.  Bates took third with 132 points and Colby College was fourth with 127 points.
  Bellemore won the pole vault for the second straight year by clearing 11-9 (3.58 meters) to break her old school record (11-1 3/4) set six days ago by more than seven inches, and significantly improved upon her NCAA provisional qualifying mark.  She also won the 55-meter hurdles with a personal best time of 8.88 seconds in the finals.  Bellemore took second place finishes in the long jump with a leap of 16-8 1/2 (5.09 meters) and the triple jump with a personal best effort of 35-1 (10.69 meters).  In the four events, Bellemore earned 36 points for the Huskies.
  Yomoah took first place finishes in the 200 meters with a time of 27.11 seconds and the 400 meters with a time of 1:02.25.  She also ran a leg on the Huskies' 4 x 400-meter relay unit that finished third.
    Other individual winners for the Huskies included freshman Caitlin Handcock (Cumberland, Maine/Greely) who set a school record with a jump of 5-2 1/4 (1.58 meters) to win the high jump, sophomore Christa Hutchinson (Gorham, Maine/Falmouth) in the triple jump with a leap of 35-5 1/4 (10.80 meters), sophomore Hattie Landry (Acton, Maine/Wells) in the 55-meter dash with a time of 7.58 seconds, and freshman Stephanie Jette (Lovell, Maine/Fryeburg Academy) in the 1,000 meters with a time of 3:08.87.  The Huskies' 4 x 200-meter quartet also won its event with a time of 1:53.03.
      Landry earned a pair of second place finishes, taking second behind Bellemore in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 9.02 seconds, and second behind Yomoah in the 200 meters with a time of 27.45 seconds.
     Sophomore Josie Marshall [South Portland, Maine/Washington Irving (WV)] gave the Huskies a one-two finish in the 55-meter dash taking second place behind Landry with her time of 7.66 seconds.
Southern Maine returns to action on Sunday, February 12, when it travels to the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston for the annual New England Alliance and Little East Conference Championships.  USM has won the Alliance and LEC titles the past five years.
