Friday was a lighter day of competition for the Commodores with entries in just four events. Highlighting the evening for Vanderbilt were Jake Van Geffen and Katherine Delaney. Van Geffen finished second in the 5000 meters with a school-record time of 14:45.88 and Delaney took home first in the 1500 meters with a time of 4:26.07.
Also in the women’s 1500, Reagan Anderson was fourth at 4:31.37 and Sara Tsai rounded out the top five at 4:32.28.
Lily Williams finished sixth with a time of 4:34.10 and Maddie Criscione was eighth with a mark of 4:35.72.
Competition continues Saturday at 10 a.m. with field events and 12 p.m. with running events. The Commodores will recognize their graduating senior class at 11:40 a.m. and senior Sara Barron will perform the national anthem at 11:55 a.m. Admission is free.
The track meet was one of several athletic events on campus Friday. The track complex is just a few hundred yards from Vanderbilt Stadium where the annual football spring game took place at the same time. Additionally, the men’s tennis team hosted Texas A&M.
