The pressure of the postseason just doesn’t seem to affect Vanderbilt’s Courtney Clayton.
Competing on the opening day of the SEC Championships in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Thursday afternoon, Clayton posted a time of 2:07.00 in the 800 prelims to finish in seventh place and qualify for Saturday’s finals.
Clayton has a habit of shining at this this time of the year. Last spring, she broke her own school record in the 800 at the SEC Championships with a time of 2:05.52 in the prelims, and went on to finish sixth in the finals to score three points for the Commodores.
Vanderbilt also received a strong effort from Sarah Goodale on Thursday. Goodale, participating in the heptathlon, set a new personal record in the 100 hurdles with a time of 14.62 early in the day. She then cleared 5-1.75 (1.57m) in the high jump, notched a distance of 31-1.25 (9.48m) in the shot put, and posted a time of 25.88 in the 200 to cap off the Commodores’ action for the day.
Clayton was joined in the 800 by four of her teammates. Maddie Criscione finished 15th at 2:09.99, Reagan Anderson finished 18th at 2:10.44, Ginger Hutton was 21st at 2:13.25 and Lydia Witty was 25th at 2:14.89.
Skyler Carpenter finished 17th in the 400-hurdles at 59.86.
The Commodores will be back in action on Friday, competing in multiple events on the second day of the three-day event. (See full schedule below).
