l Saturday’s Results: Florida Relays – HERE
After an eventful day of action on Friday, the Vanderbilt track and field team wrapped up a successful weekend on Saturday.
The Commodores — who had representatives at three separate meets on Friday — competed in a limited number of events Saturday at the Florida Relays to conclude the busy 48-hour stretch.
Vanderbilt took sixth place in pair of relays — the 4×400 and the 1600 Sprint Medley — and All-American Simone Charley finished 14th in the triple jump with a leap of 40-9 (12.42m).
The Commodores 4×400 squad posted a time of 3:39.87, and VU’s 1600 Sprint Medley team recorded a time of 3:55.62. Both VU relay teams were comprised of Skyler Carpenter, Courtney Clayton, Jennifer Edobi and Faith Washington.
On Friday, senior Katherine Delaney and Vanessa Valentine delivered shining performances at the Stanford Invitational. Delaney recorded a time of 4:18.24 in the 1500 to post a six-second personal best and set the No. 2 mark on Vanderbilt’s all-time list, and Valentine crushed her previous best by 15 seconds in the 5k with a time of 16:10.52, which ranks No. 3 on VU’s list.
At the Florida Relays on Friday, Edobi posted a personal-best time of 53.33 in the 400 meters to set the No. 2 mark on VU’s all-time list. Edobi was also a member of Vanderbilt’s 4×400 relay that set a season’s best time of 3:39.84 in the prelims and to set the No. 7 mark on VU’s all-time list.
At the San Francisco State Distance Carnival on Friday, a trio of Commodores each set new personal records in the 1500, with Maddie Criscione finishing at 4:32.63, Megan Huebner at 4:34.78 and Ginger Hutton at 4:39.79.
The Commodores will compete again next weekend at the Auburn Invitational.
