THURSDAY’S RESULTS: HERE
The members of the Vanderbilt track and field team passed their final test of the regular season in strong style.
The Commodores wrapped up action at the Duke Twilight Meet on Thursday night in Durham, N.C., where they compiled 14 Top-10 finishes and a host of personal records during the two-day meet.
Simone Charley’s victory in the triple jump and Faith Washington’s impressive effort in the 200 were among the many highlights on the second day of the meet for the Commodores, who picked up plenty of momentum for next week’s SEC Championships in Starkville, Miss.
Charley, the All-American from Hoover, Ala., captured first place in the triple jump with a mark of 42-0.50 (12.81m), and Washington took 10th place in the 200 with a personal-best time of 24.39, which ranks as the No. 5 mark on Vanderbilt’s all-time list.
The Commodores had three Top-10 finishes in the 800-meter run, with Courtney Clayton taking sixth at 2:10.31, Katherine Delaney in ninth at 2:10.89 and Reagan Anderson in 10th at 2:10.92.
Other Top-10 finishes on Thursday included Tierney Price earning fifth in the triple jump with a mark of 39-1.75 (11.93m), and Ellie Tidman taking fourth in the high jump at 5-5.25 (1.66m).
Skyler Carpenter finished 17th in the 200 with a time of 25.13, and teammate Emma Radan was 27th at 25.56.
Two other VU representatives were among the top 20 in the 800 — Lily Williams in 16th at 2:12.33 and Maddie Criscione in 17th at 2:12.53 — and they were followed by Courtney Kriegshauser in 29th at 2:15.51 and Megan Huebner in 39th at 2:19.17.
During the opening day of the meet on Wednesday, Carmen Carlos roared to a victory in the 5000 with a personal-record time of 16:39.28, which ranks as the No. 9 mark on Vanderbilt’s all-time performer’s list, and Vanessa Valentine finished in second place with a season’s best time of 16:54.22.
Also on Wednesday, Katherine Delaney earned a fourth-place finish in the 1500-meter run with a time of 4:25.29 — the No. 10 mark on VU’s all-time list — while Lily Williams took seventh at 4:28.49 and Reagan Anderson was eighth at 4:29.42. Courtney Kriegshauser was 14th at 4:34.14, Maddie Criscione was 17th with a PR of 4:34.91 and Megan Huebner was 25th with a PR of 4:39.45.
