YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Instead of a warm, sunny evening in the middle of April, the weather on day one of the Eastern Michigan University Twilight was more like the middle of November as the EMU women's track and field team battled the tough conditions along with competitors from other schools, April 19.
Sophomore Victoria Voronko won the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:30.24, a personal-best time that overtakes teammate Morgan Churchwell's time of 4:31.28 as the fastest mark in the Mid-American Conference. Senior Rachel Quaintance followed Voronko in 11th place with a 4:45.52 while Marina Manjon-Rivadulla crossed the finish line 13th in 4:47.27. Cara Smock, Amy Frauhammer and Brooke Sciullo rounded out the race for the Eagles, finishing 23rd, 28th and 32nd, respectively.
In the 400-meter hurdles, Shante Jackson took 12th with a 1:06.91. To round out day one, Kayla Pfund placed 15th in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 18:33.48.
The Eagles swept both of the first day's field events. Lydia Gomez-Diaz took the hammer throw with a toss of 55.66 meters, and freshman, Ellie Braidic claimed victory in the pole vault with a leap of 3.85 meters.
Day two of the EMU Twilight will begin tomorrow morning, April 20, at 10:00 a.m with field events. The eight EMU seniors will also be recognized on the track prior to the start of the running events which are slated to begin at noon.
