NOTRE DAME, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's track and field team began competition at the Meyo Invitational, Friday, Feb. 1, inside the Loftus Sports Center on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. The Eagles' performances were highlighted by redshirt senior Allyson Goff's (White Lake, Mich.-Walled Lake Northern) fourth-place finish in the Long Jump, as her leap cleared 5.70m.
The Eagles had 14 student-athletes compete in seven events on the first day of the prestigious meet. The day saw all of EMU's runners competing in the 60m Hurdles qualify for the semifinal heats tomorrow, Feb. 2, led by freshman Alysse Marie Wade's (Mansfield, Ohio) 11th-place finish in the preliminary heats in just 8.70. Goff followed shortly behind her, finishing in 8.71, while fellow freshman Angel Gazaway (Cincinatti, Ohio-Princeton) was just .08 seconds behind with an 8.79 second finish.
Three of four Eastern Michigan athletes prevailed to the semifinal heats in the 60m preliminaries, as senior captain Jessica Harris (Slidell, La.-Slidell) led the way with a 7.60 effort. Juniors Brittni Mason (Richmond Heights, Ohio-West Geauga) and Kolby Ganther (Park City, Kan.-Northeast Magnet) were just .04 and .13 seconds behind her, finishing the dash in 7.64 and 7.73 seconds, respectively.
In the 600m finals, freshman Tiffany Cernej-Garcia earned a seventh-place finish with a time of 1:36.08. She was the top finisher in her heat, besting two Central Michigan University runners with her speed.
The field events saw Kadian Clarke (Kingston, Jamacia- Immaculate Conception) and Savanah Luthman (Minister, Ohio-Minister) earn top-25 finishes in the weight throw, clearing 16.91m and 16.13m respectively. Along with Goff, freshman Correena Saintilmond (Miami, Fla.-Hallandale) and sophomore Crystal Washington (Los Angeles, Calif.-Carson) competed in the long jump, with Saintilmond earning an 18th-place finish with a 5.24m jump and Washington rounding out the top-20 with a 5.13m clearance.
