Competing with Passion

"Nothing great has even been accomplished without passion."
-German Author

Our ladies showed much greater passion this weekend, as we competed at the Indiana University Gladstein Invitational. Highlights included:


Day 1
Senior Captain Nicki Mitchell nearly recorded an NCAA Provisional Qualifying mark in the Pentathlon. Her score was less than 90 points shy of her personal-best. Look for Nicki to hit the provisional mark very soon.

Our "field" group was led by Hope Alexander, who improved her season's best Triple Jump by nearly .5 meters. Hope is quickly re-becoming one of the MAC's best triple jumpers.


Day 2
Our 4x400m relay team ran nearly 5.5 seconds faster than a week ago, to post a time of 3:51.01...Rachel Clay led the way with another solid anchor leg (55.4 seconds). Clay was also part of a 200m contingent (Pogorelov, Graves, Clay) who showed marked improvement, as we posted 3 of the top times at the meet.

In the field, senior captain Brittney Bernardoni led the way, as she recorded a new seasonal-best in the Pole Vault (3.72m). Brittney will soon be clearing really high bars.


Kristen Mathews, a senior high jumper, will be posting a preview of the Indiana Relays on Thursday...
