Freshman Kelly Patton recorded the fifth-fastest time in
school history in the 100-meter hurdles to lead a quartet of Fighting
Scot track and field competitors on Saturday, April 7, at the Campbell/Wright
Open hosted by Akron University. The non-scoring event featured
a slew of individuals and teams from all collegiate divisions as
well as athletes independent of any affiliation, all of whom were
attempting to qualify for the NCAA Championships to be held later
this month.
Patton raced to a season-best time of 15.47 in the hurdles, finishing
seventh overall behind competitors from Div. I and II schools. Her
pace put her fifth in Wooster history in the event, 1.12 seconds
behind Darlene Kemp's record of 14.35 set in 1982.
Jill Berner, Colin Turner, and Taylor Delhagen
also finished among the leaders in their respective events. Berner
cleared a height of 10 feet, 11.75 inches in the pole vault to tie
for eighth-place overall, while Turner and Delhagen each finished
11th in the 800 and 3000 meters, respectively, with times of 2:00.57
and 9:11.14.
Wooster's track and field student athletes will continue to pursue
qualifying marks for the NCAA Div. III Championships at the Ohio
Elite Invitational hosted by Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio,
on Saturday, May 14. |
