EAST LANSING, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Five victories guided the Eastern Michigan University women's track and field team in the Spartan Invitational at Michigan State University, April 5-6.
The Eagles swept both hurdle events. Freshman Vanessa Clerveaux crossed the finish line first in the 100-meter hurdles in 13.67, the sixth fastest time in EMU history while senior Asia Rawls won the 400-meter hurdles in 1:01.26.
Victoria Voronko was victorious in the 1,500-meter run after finishing with a time of 4:34.79. The lone EMU victory in the field events came in the triple jump as freshman Makeda DeBardelaben leaped 12.01 meters (39-feet 5-inches) to stand on top of the podium.
The Green and White also found success in the relays. The 4x100-meter relay team of Clerveaux, Aaliyah McKinney, Danielle Clark and Morgan Yeadon took first with a time of 46.11. In the 4x400-meter relay, Clark, Yeadon, Latipha Cross and Rawls ended the race in 3:51.99 for a runner-up finish.
In the sprints, McKinney tallied a pair of fourth-places finishes in the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash with times of 11.92 and 24.61, respectively.
During the only event on Friday night, April 5, the EMU record books found some new names in the hammer throw. While current record-holder Lydia Gomez-Diaz finished second in the preliminary round to qualify for the finals with a toss of 54.58 meters (179-feet 1-inch), Adrienne Waisner threw 42.30 meters (138-feet 9-inches), the sixth-best mark in EMU laurels. Reagan Briggs also etched her name in EMU history, recording a mark of 37.15 meters (121-feet 10-inches), tenth best in the record books.
