SATURDAY’S RESULTS: HEREÂ Â
The Vanderbilt track and field team arrived in Charlottesville, Va., this week with plenty of momentum, and the Commodores left on Saturday with even more of it.
Continuing a month-long surge, the Vanderbilt athletes put together an impressive showing this weekend at the Virginia Challenge, where they compiled a lengthy list of personal records and recorded a series of marks that ranked among the program’s all-time Top-10.
Faith Washington helped lead the charge for Commodores on Saturday by winning the 400-meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 57.64, which ranks as the No. 3 mark on Vanderbilt’s all-time performer’s list. Washington’s effort was one of 10 personal records that were set or tied by the Commodores during the two-day meet.
Also on Saturday, Vanderbilt’s 4×400 relay team — comprised of Wasington, Skyler Carpenter, Courtney Clayton and Erin Edmond — took second place with a time of 3:36.84, and Sara Barron took 14th in the 1500 at 4:20.41 to lead a strong cast of Commodores in that event.
Katherine Delaney set a new personal best in the 1,500 with a time of 4:25.47, which ranks No. 9 on VU’s all-time list, and Carmen Carlos set a new PR at 4:28.39. Reagan Anderson posted a time of 4:30.37, and was followed by Courtney Kriegshauser at 4:30.54, Lily Williams at 4:32.19, Maddie Criscione at 4:35.70 and Megan Huebner 4:43.90. The times by Kriegshauser and Criscione were both personal records, and Huebner’s mark was her second fastest.
Carpenter finished 10th in the 400-meter hurdles at 1:00.02, Ellie Tidman was sixth in the high jump at 5-6 (1.68m), Vanessa Valentine was 26th in the 5000 at 17:19.05 and Liz Anderson capped the day with a fourth-place finish in the 10,000-meter run at 35:07.19 in the final running event.
On Friday, Rebecca Chandler broke her own school record by more than two seconds in the Steeplechase with a time of 10:21.20, and Clayton took sixth in the 800 with a PR-tying time of 2:07.05, representing the No. 3 mark on the school’s all-time list.
Barron and Delaney also set new personal records in the 800, with Barron finishing 13th at 2:09.38 and Delaney taking 14th at 2:09.46. Barron and Delaney, who each won their heat, moved up to No. 7 and No. 8, respectively, on VU’s all-time list.
Megan McCabe posted a personal record in the pole vault by clearing 12-6.25 (3.82m), which ranks No. 6 on VU’s all-time list.
The Commodores will not compete in a meet this coming weekend due to final exams. They will next compete on May 2 in the Tennessee Open, which will be Vanderbilt’s final regular-season meet.
