| The College of Wooster indoor track and field teams
both took eighth-place at this weekend’s (Jan. 29) North Coast
Athletic Conference Relays, hosted by Denison University, with the
women totaling 30 points in their field and the men scoring 25.
Wooster’s top event was the women’s pole vault, in
which it tied for first. The Scots tandem of juniors Jill
Berner and Kate Legg combined for 17 feet,
which equaled Denison’s effort. Individually, Berner cleared
a height of nine feet, six inches to finish second overall, while
Legg reached a mark of seven feet, six inches.
On the track, Wooster’s Kelly Patton and
Heather Reed totaled 20.34 seconds in the 55-meter
hurdles, good for fourth-place. Patton finished in 9.84 with Reed
right behind in 10.51.
The Scots finished fifth in three of the true running relays –
1600, 3200, and distance medley – to round out their scoring.
In the 1600, it was first-years Darcy Poland, Hannah
LeGris, Nicole Calderone, and Sarah
Hammond with a time of 4:37.90. Calderone was also part
of the distance medley relay, joining forces with Ashley
Zervos, Dana Doran-Myers, and Kathleen
McCreary, as they completed it in 14:11.69. Doran-Myers
led off the 3200, followed by Hannah Bierlein,
Vanessa Georgeson, and Zervos, who crossed the
finish line in 11:27.47.
In men’s action, Wooster’s best showings came in the
field, taking fourth-place in the shot put and triple jump. Rick
Drushal’s throw of 46 feet, 10 inches was second-best
individually, while Marco Garcia backed him up
with a mark of 35 feet, 4.25 inches. In the triple, the freshmen
duo of Tristan Jordan and Seth Stuck
totaled 73 feet, 2.75 inches, with 37 feet, 7.25 inches and 35 feet,
7.5 inches, respectively.
Another pair of freshmen – Ross Stevenson
and Robert Olson – combined their efforts
for a fifth-place performance in the high jump relay. Stevenson
cleared five feet, eight inches, and Olson reached five feet, six
inches.
The Scots best showings on the track were fifth-place in the 55-meter
hurdles via Rob Kelm (8.58) and Matt Jensen
(8.88) in 17.46, respectively, and sixth-place in the distance medley
relay of Colin Turner, Stuck, Jonathan
Prince, and Tim Presto (11:22.29).
