ANN ARBOR, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University women's track and field team looks to close its regular outdoor season out on a high note, competing at the Len Paddock Open hosted by the University of Michigan Friday, May 3.
The Green and White comes off a strong weekend at both the Hillsdale "GINA" Relays, hosted by Hillsdale College, and the Jesse Owens Classic, hosted by the Ohio State University, Thursday through Saturday, April 25-27. Thursday saw freshmen Kaitlyn St. Bernard (Newport, Mich.-Jefferson) and redshirt senior Allie Knoll (Warren, Mich.-Warren Mott) finished in the top-10 of the 5000m event at the "GINA" Relays, placing third and 10th with career-best efforts of 17:30.09 and 17:34.87, respectively. In Columbus, Ohio, senior captain Sydney Meyers (Zionsville, Ind.-Zionsville Community) and sophomore Kadian Clarke (Kingston, Jamaica- Immaculate Conception) highlighted the first day of competition at the Jesse Owens Classic, as Meyers finished third in the 1500m, recording a time of 4:28.88, while Clarke marked a 14th-place hammer throw effort of 50.80m, her career best and the fourth-best throw in EMU laurels.
Eastern Michigan finished its time at the classic Saturday, April 27, collecting two event titles in the 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay. The 4x100 relay team of juniors Kolby Ganther (Park City, Kan.-Northeast Magnet), Micah Johnston (Toledo, Ohio-Toledo Christian), and Brittni Mason (Richmond Heights, Ohio-West Geauga), and senior Jessica Harris (Slidell, La.-Slidell) recorded the fifth-fastest effort in EMU history, while the 4x400 relay squad of freshmen Tiffany Cernej-Garcia (Ann Arbor, Mich.-Pioneer) and Mair Edwards (Basingstoke, England-The Costello School), sophomore Keypathwa Gibson (Toledo, Ohio-Roy C. Start) and Johnston topped Mid-American Conference foes Western Michigan University, Ohio University, the University of Akron, and Miami University en route to its top finish.
