NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As the fall semester nears end, Vanderbilt’s track and field team opened its indoor season Saturday by hosting 11 schools at the Indoor Opener at Vanderbilt’s Multipurpose Facility.

It is the third straight year Vanderbilt has opened its indoor season with this event, which features a number of local programs.

Highlighting the day for Vanderbilt was the performance of Katherine Delaney in the mile run. The senior from Laguna Niguel, Calif., won the mile with a time of 4:51.85. The time would have been the sixth fastest by a Commodore in 2014.

Vanderbilt also had five second-place finishes with Jennifer Edobi posting a time of 55.07 in the 400 meters, Skyler Carpenter going 3:14.68 in the 800 and Courtney Kriegshauser running 9:49.77 in the 3000 meters. Sarah Goodale and Ashlyn Hare also finished in a four-way tie for second in the high jump with a mark of 1.66 meters (5-5.25).

Courtney Clayton finished third in the mile with a time of 4:58.78. Vanderbilt’s 4×400 relay team of Edobi, Clayton, Erin Hardnett and Lydia Witty also finished third at 3:52.15.

Sarah Bell also soared to a mark of 3.90 meters(12-9.50) to place third in the pole vault.

After taking a break from competition for final exams and the holidays, Vanderbilt’s track and field team will be back in action January 15 at the Commodore Invitational.
