Full Results: Tiger Track Classic 
The Vanderbilt track and field team came home from Auburn, Ala., with a nice collection of new personal records — and one school record, too.
Jake Van Geffen, Katherine Delaney and Sara Tsai were just a few of the contributors for the Commodores, who produced more than a dozen Top-10 finishes during the weekend at the Tiger Track Classic.
Van Geffen set a new school record in the 3k, finishing with a time of 8:28.47 to take third place overall, and Delaney posted a career-best time of 2:07.84 in the 800 to earn a fourth-place finish and move up from seventh to fourth on Vanderbilt’s all-time list.
Vanderbilt had a strong performance in the women’s 3k, with four Commodores finishing among the top 10. Sara Barron took second with a time of 9:38.40, and Tsai finished fourth with a personal-best time of 9:43.22, which ranks No. 10 on Vanderbilt’s all-time performers list.
Lily Williams was fifth in 3k at 9:45.46 and Courtney Kriegshauser was sixth at 9:45.67.
Vanderbilt’s 4×400 relay team — comprised of Courtney Clayton, Lydia Witty, Skyler Carpenter and Jennifer Edobi — finished third with a time of 3:40.68, which ranks No. 8 on the school’s all-time list, and freshman Erin Hardnett posted a time of 14.43 in the 100-hurdles to set the No. 10 mark on Vanderbilt’s list. Hardnett finished 22nd overall.
Vanderbilt had four runners finish in the top 20 in the 800. In addition to Delaney’s fourth-place showing, Courtney Clayton took 11th at 2:10.04, Jennifer Edobi was 13th at 2:10.72 and Lily Williams was 19th at 2:12.24.
Sarah Bell finished fourth in the pole vault by clearing 13-01.25. Megan McCabe cleared 12-01.50, and Katie Watts matched her career best by clearing 11-01.75, which ranks No. 10 on VU’s all-time list.
Jason Vincze helped led the way for the Commodores on the men’s side. Vincze paced a group of six VU runners in the 1500 by finishing 31st with a time of 4:04.73. Nick French finished directly behind Vincze in 32nd at 4:05.67 and Jake Van Geffen was 34th at 4:06.21.
In the men’s 3k, Van Geffen was one of three Commodores in the top-10. Nikos Gkotsis was eighth at 8:39.46 and Nick French was ninth at 8:39.63.
Vanderbilt will next compete in two weeks, when the Commodores participate in the Virginia Challenge.
