CU's Keisha Chiles finishes runner-up, Beasley 4th in NAIA Women's Track: CU's first ever NAIA track championship just one-half inch short Campbellsville University's Myra compete in the women's high jump at 1:30pmET, Saturday, May 25, 2013, in NAIA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at the Indiana Wesleyan University Outdoor Athletic Complex, 4201 S. Washington St., Marion, IN 46953 By Chris Megginson Campbellsville University Sports Information MARION, IN - One half of an inch (.01 meters) proved to be a big difference Friday in women's triple at the 33rd annual NAIA Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships. That is all that separated freshman Keisha Chiles from claiming Campbellsville University's first-ever NAIA track championship and also the difference between third and fourth place for senior Tiosha Beasley. Chiles, a Louisville, KY, native, shattered the school record in her second jump of 12.16 meters (39 feet, 10.75 inches) but finished runner-up in event. Her record-setting jump was .33 meters better than her previous personal record and bested Beasley's 2012 CU record of 11.92 meters by 9.45 inches. Chiles led 20-woman field of competitors until Carroll College sophomore Kathleen Mulligan tied the mark in her fourth jump. Mulligan went on to edge Chiles in her fifth of six jumps at 12.17 meters (39 feet, 11.25 inches) to win the national title. Beasley, a senior from Bowling Green, KY, also finished with a personal record, hitting 11.99 meters (39 feet, 4 inches) in her third jump, a mark .07 meters better than the previous school record. Beasley was also a half inch behind her closest opponent, Hastings College's Courtney Mills, who placed third at 12 meters (39 feet, 4.5 inches). The pair of All-American performances gave CU 13 team points, boosting the Lady Tigers to 14th in the team standings among 38 schools scoring points. Christiana Harris made her first NAIA appearance, finishing 19th among 23 individuals in the women's 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.26 seconds. Chiles gained two points Thursday with a seventh-place finish and PR in the women's long jump. Lindsey Wilson College remains the only other Mid-South Conference team to receive points at the championship, scoring five points Thursday with a fourth-place finish by Sharon Ronoh.
