COACH'S QUOTE
"I was very pleased to see us generate some quality performances still a month out from our peak," said head coach
Matt Belfield. "ECAC marks for the distance medley relay and
Samantha Sayer's results is what they were hoping for.
Seth Beard ran better than last week in the dash and
Konstanze Wendeln's debut 5K was quite a good effort too. I'm confident that tomorrow will be a good day as well."
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Wendeln kicked off the day for the Catamounts with a third-place finish in the 5000m open race after completing the run in 17:54.64
- Sayer registered a time of 17:27.05 later in the day when she competed in the 5000m invite race for eighth overall.
- Caroline O'Shea, Mia Grasso, Jane Leighton and Phoebe Koski completed the women's distance medley in 12:03.70 for fourth overall.
- In the 60m dash, Beard sprinted to a time of 7.11 seconds, a 0.1 second improvement on his time from last week at the Middlebury Winterfell.
NOTES
- Sayer qualified for the ECAC/IC4A in the 5000m and the DMR relay team of O'Shea, Grasso, Leighton, and Koski also qualified for the championship.
WHAT'S NEXT
Tomorrow marks a busy day for the Catamounts as some continue at the Penn State National Open while another group from Vermont track & field competes at the Middlebury Invitational. UVM will also be competing at the UNH Tri-Meet in Durham, New Hampshire.
