Competing in its first outdoor meet of the season, the Vanderbilt track and field team enjoyed a strong showing on the opening day of the Alabama relays on Friday.
The highlights for the Commodores included multiple top-5 finishes and a school-record performance in the 4×200.
Jennifer Edobi, Faith Washington, Skyler Carpenter and Erin Edmond teamed up for a second-place finish in the 4×200 with a time of 1:37.45, which broke the previous school record by almost three seconds. Mississippi State won the event by nipping the Commodores with a time of 1:37.10.
Vanderbilt’s sprint medley team — comprised of Courtney Clayton, Washington, Edmond and Carpenter — took second with a time of 3:59.65.
Ellie Tidman cleared 1.70m in the high jump for third place, and Tierney Price was 11th in the triple jump at 11.74m.
