3/19/2005

Nashville, Tenn. — Freshman sprinter Andrea Rosemond established a new 100-meter team record of 11.93 while winning the event at the Commodore Spring Classic on Saturday.

Rosemond, a freshman from Houston, Texas, eclipsed the former Vanderbilt mark of 11.97 set by Melissa Mailand in 1998. Only three Commodore female sprinters have run the distance under 12 seconds.

Versatile Commodore athlete Josie Hahn added to her talents at the meet, winning the 400-meter hurdles with a 1:02.22 effort. The four-time All-American also ranks as the top Vanderbilt performer in the high jump, javelin and multi-event heptathlon.

The one-day meet attracted entries from several local universities, including Belmont, Fisk, Austin Peay and the University of the South, and nine Midwestern teams.
