WALNUT, Calif. ? Hardware came in two's on the second day of competition at the NCAA Division II Track and Field National Championships in Walnut, Calif. The Triton women claimed two National Championships and sat atop the team standings at the end of the day's events with 32 points, 5.5 ahead of day one leader Abilene Christian.

Sophomore school record holder Linda Rainwater took control of the second day of the Heptathlon and won the national championship by posting 5,052 points, a mere five points shy of her own school record. Rainwater gained command, moved quickly from second to first at the opening of the event's second day and never relinquished the lead as she cruised to a 100-point victory. She became the first Triton women to win a track and field national championship at the Division II level and the first at any level since Renee Sprowl won the long jump at the 1995 NCAA Division III Championships.

Roughly six hours after Rainwater earned her gold, CCAA Athlete of the year, Whitney Johnson joined in the festivities taking the triple jump with a leap of 40'9.75". The senior from Bakersfield provided a sweet ending to an illustrious career with her first national title.

Freshman Stephanie LeFever posted an All-American performance when she finished in fourth place behind Rainwater in the heptathlon with 4,749 points. LeFever was in seventh place after the first day of events and with a phenomenal performancein the long jump catapulted herself to a top-five finish.

Sophomore Casey Ryan, UCSD's only male competitor,  ignored less than ideal conditions to clear 6'8.75" in the high jump  to finish in a tie for fifth place, earning him All-American honors for the first time in his career.

In the 5,000 meter prelims Emily McGregor, who placed seventh in the 10,000 Thursday night,  qualified for tomorrow's finals, clocking 17:26, and the 4x400 meter relay team of Katie Skorupa, Corey Sheredy, Christine Merrill and Anna Lee McGregor posted a time of 3:47.33 seconds to grab the ninth and final position for Saturday's finals.

Battling the elements, school pole vault record holder Christina Sloyer did not clear opening height while both Merrill and Kayleigh Knudson were unable to get past the preliminary round in the 100 hurdles.

Tomorrow will be the last day of competition and events will begin at 11 a.m. at Hilmer Lodge Stadium on the campus of Mount San Antonio College.
