| The College of Wooster men’s and women’s
track and field teams closed out their indoor season this past weekend
(March 4-5), placing eighth and ninth, respectively, at the North
Coast Athletic Conference Championships, hosted by Denison University.
While the Wooster men finished a spot higher with 15 points in its
field, the Scot women scored more (25.5 points). Allegheny College
won both team championships, with its men tallying 161 points and
the women 134.
Individually for Wooster, junior Jill Berner won her second-straight
NCAC indoor pole vault title, clearing 10 feet, four inches to edge
Kenyon College’s Katy Cameron (10 feet).
The Scots’ other all-conference performance came from the
distance medley relay. The team of freshman Nicole Calderone, junior
Hannah Bierlein, junior Tiffany White, and sophomore Katie Wieferich
finished runner-up (13:09.60), just over a second off of Allegheny’s
pace.
There was one event, in which Wooster had a pair of individual scorers,
as freshman Kelly Patton and senior Heather Reed took sixth (9.30)
and eighth (9.40), respectively.
Also scoring for the women’s team were sophomore Dana Doran-Myers,
who tied for eighth in the high jump (4 feet, 10 inches), as well
as the 4x400- and 4x200-meter relay teams, which came in seventh
(4:25.72) and eighth (1:53.54), respectively.
On the men’s side, the Scots’ top scorer was sophomore
Rob Kelm, who was one place shy of earning All-NCAC recognition,
taking fourth in the 55-meter hurdles (8.26). Tristan Jordan contributed
a fifth-place effort in the triple jump (41 feet, 0.25 inches) in
the freshman’s first career conference meet, as did junior
Colin Turner in the 800 meters (2:00.66), while sophomore Rick Drushal
added a seventh-place showing in the shot put (43 feet, 2.25 inches).
