Mini-Meet, Day 1

Despite temperatures that hovered nearly 20 degrees below average, the RedHawks completed Day 1 of their Mini-Meet...

Magda Wikar captured the Long Jump title for the second year-in-a-row, while freshman heptathlete Erica Mudd registered a new lifetime PR.

Mudd, who ranked as one of the Top-35 High Jumpers in high school, managed to win the High Jump as well- despite the conditions.

Tomorrow, the RedHawks return to the track to compete in the Pole Vault, 4x100m Relay, 100m Dash, 60m Hurdles, 200m Dash and 4x400m Relay.

That 'Hawk Is...

Sophomore Katie Scannell!

Congrats to proud alum Kristen Mathews for guessing correctly...she now takes a 2-pt. lead in the race to become the "Best RedHawk Fan"


In a recent interview, here's what Katie had to say:

MUTF: How'd you decide on Miami?
KS: Coming to Miami was a last minute decision for me...I had attended a very small University in Nova Scotia, Canada during my freshman year. But, the summer after my freshman year I woke up one morning and said, "I want to transfer.".
So, I started looking into schools around Ohio, and my cousin (whom currently attends Miami) mentioned Miami. I did a little research, came to visit about a month before school started, and was hooked. Miami is ranked-well academically, and has a great campus in a small, safe town. What could be any better? :)


MUTF: What advice would you have for someone who is considering becoming a part of the Miami Track & Field family?
KS: As corny as this may sound - being a part of the track and field team has totally confirmed my decision to transfer. When I tried-out for the team last fall, I was not entirely sure I made the correct decision on transferring. But, once I joined the team- and started running well in the 400m Hurdles during the spring- my feeling about Miami totally transformed. The experience has been amazing so far!

MUTF: What do you do in your free time?
KS: I volunteer at the Bunker Hill Haven House for boys. I go every Thursday evening and tutor/mentor troubled youth for a few hours.

MUTF: What are your goals for this year?
KS: To be the best that I can be! My main event, the 400m Hurdles, was new to me last year...and, my coach says I haven't yet scratched the surface of what I am capable of. So, hopefully, I'll go sub-60 this year!

That 'Hawk Is...

Junior Diona Graves!

Congrats to Katie Lenahan for guessing correctly...Proud alum Kristen Mathews still holds a slight edge in the race to become the "Best RedHawk Fan"


In a recent interview, here's what Diona had to say:

MUTF: How'd you decide on Miami?
DG: I chose Miami because I felt like I got along well with the team and its a good academic school...plus its a beautiful campus!

MUTF: What advice would you have for someone who is considering becoming a part of the Miami Track & Field family?
DG: We are in a really good situation...our coaches really care about us. So, when they care about you- and you're getting better and better all the time- it's easy to get excited about what you're doing.

MUTF: What do you do in your free time?
DG: I am a movie connoisseur...and I spend a lot of time with my teammates.

MUTF: What are your goals for this year?
DG: I just want to continue to improve...hopefully, that'll result in a trip to Regionals for me (200m Dash) and our team (4x400m Relay).

Senior Kelley Miller!

Congrats to Katie Lenahan for guessing correctly...


In a recent interview, here's what Kelley had to say:

MUTF: How'd you decide on Miami?
KM: I chose Miami because of the beautiful campus and the great academics...and the great Track & Field team, obviously!

MUTF: What advice would you have for someone who is considering becoming a part of the Miami Track & Field family?
KM: The thing I enjoy most about Miami is the personal relationships. At Miami, class sizes are smaller, which allows you to really get to know professors- and have them get to know you. My professors actually care about their students, and push them to be the best they can be!

MUTF: What are your future plans, after you graduate?
KM: As of right now, I am interested in working in a hospital with recovering stroke patients. My major is speech pathology and audiology, with a minor in coaching. I'm interested in the speech pathology/audiology field because it is a very needed field, and it allows for a variety of work options (i.e. rehabilitation centers, retirement facilities, etc.). I want to be able to help people live a full and "normal" life.
