Penn Relay Results and Schedule
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's track and field team completed the first day of the 2012 Penn Relays Thursday, April 26, showing great success at the world class meet.
The Eagles led things off with success in many of the field events at the Penn Relays as Tatijana Jacobson tied for eighth in the high jump with a 5-feet and 7.75-inch leap. Jacobson's jump is the third in the Eagles' history books, while it ranks second among Mid-American Conference competitors for the 2012 outdoor campaign. Lydia Gomez-Diaz threw a 190-feet and one-inch toss in the hammer throw to take the top-spot. Gomez-Diaz' throw was good for second-best in Eastern Michigan history, while it was also the best toss to this point in the 2012 season by any MAC athlete. Rosie White leapt 19-feet and 9.75-inches which earned her fourth place in the long jump. White's jump ranks as the best in the MAC this season, as well as the ninth best long jump in EMU history.
On the track side, Asia Rawls took sixth in the 400-meter hurdles with a 59.67 finish, while the 4x100-meter relay team of Danielle Clark, Shantavia Williams, White and ReJeana Margina placed 17th in the heats with a 46.32, qualifying the team for the college finals. The 4x400-meter relay team qualified for the ECAC finals with a 13th place finish in 3:40.79. The 4x400-team consisted of Rawls, Margina, Beverly Elcock and Williams, and its finish was the second-best in the MAC this season.
EMU continues action at the Penn Relays over the course of Friday and Saturday, while it also travels to the Hillsdale Gina Relays, April 27-28.
