SPARTANBURG, S.C. โ The Queens University of Charlotte track and field program traveled to Spartanburg, S.C., to compete in the Wofford Terrier Relays today breaking five meet records and setting five new school records.
"At every single meet we have had something that we could take away and see that as a group we continue to improve," said Queens head coach Jim Vahrenkamp. "We are light years ahead of where we were last year at this point and I continue to look forward to watching this group and future recruits learn and grow as a team and individual athletes."
The throwers had a great day with Jovan Cardosa highlighting the action with her school record breaking performance in the hammer throw. Cardosa threw a distance of 131'4'' (40.04m) to second place in the event. She also competed in the discus throw placing 11th behind Dacia Thompson who took sixth with a throw of 113'5'' (34.58m). Thompson also placed 12th in the shot put with a throw of 34'5'' (10.49m).
Throwers Ella Fox and Johanna Schonecker competed in the javelin throw with Fox taking third overall and breaking the meet record. Fox's throw of 122'3'' (37.26m) finished two spots ahead of Schonecker, who threw a distance of 109'7'' (33.41m) for fifth place. Josh Doughty competed in the men's javelin throw placing 11th with a throw of 127'6'' (38.86m).
"It is hugely gratifying to see the hard work of Coach Sarah Morris and her athletes come to fruition," Vahrenkamp commented. "They are kids with great character and work ethic and it finally showed in the results today."
Shelby Kennard stood out today among the jumpers taking first in the women's pole vault with a 12'11.75'' (3.96m) jump. Kennard's mark was a meet record, new program outdoor record, and a NCAA provisional qualifying jump.
"Shelby Kennard continued to set the standard for excellence in pole vault," said Vahrenkamp. "She set the meet record and established a new all-time personal best which prior to this weekend leaves her at second on the national list. I cannot begin to express how thrilled I am for Shelby to continue her improvement in pole vault. She is a model athlete. The goal continues to be to finish in the top three at the outdoor national meet and I know that Shelby always has higher heights in mind."
In the men's pole vault Florian Bergs placed sixth with a jump of 12'9.5'' (3.90m) setting a new school record.
Taylor Reynolds brought home a third place finish in the high jump setting a new school record with a mark of 5'4.5'' (1.64m). Jamilah Watson finished behind Reynolds in seventh place with a jump of 4'10.5'' (1.49m). Watson also competed in the women's triple jump taking fifth with a jump of 34'6.75'' (10.53m).
Silja Muehlebach took sixth in the long jump with a mark of 16'10'' (5.13m).
On the track Johannes Riemann continued his great year with a first place finish in the 110 meter hurdles in 14.81.
"Johannes continues to improve the technical aspects of his race and I know that he will continue to run better and better times as the season progresses," said Vahrenkamp. "He is a model of consistency for us both in his attitude and in the times that he produces on the track. Coach Kevin McQueen has done a great job to help JR get to where he is."
In the women's 100 meter hurdles Mystique Ro led Queens finishing eighth in 16.03 just ahead of Miranda Wood who took 10th in 16.11. Wood then came back to take seventh in the 400 meter hurdle race in 1:07.11. Ro took 11th in the race.
Sarai Hayes turned in a pair of good performances in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Hayes raced in second in the 100 meter in 12.55, while taking fifth in the 200 meter in 26.15.
The women's 4x100 meter relay comprised of Muehlebach, Wood, Hayes and Ro broke the 48 second barrier for the first time in school history while setting the meet record. The group finished the race in 47.78, and with continued improvement they will be expected to earn the right to compete late in May.
The men's 4x100 meter relay team comprised of Riemann, Bergs, Shomari Ingram and Zach Lewis finished fifth in their race in 43 seconds flat.
James Hollingsworth highlighted the distance runners today picking up a first place finish in the 800 meter in 1:56.45. He also took second in the 1500 meter in 3:58.65 beating the meet record.
"The distance group had a solid showing today, commented Vahrenkamp. "Jimmy Hollingsworth turned in a pair of great performances in the 800m and the 1500m. I know that he is going to do some great things at the conference meet. The rest of the group was entered in the Distance Medley relay where they were narrowly edged in a great race at the line. The conference meet is going to be a great opportunity for this group to shine."
On the women's side, Mathilde Timboni took eighth in the 1500 meter in 5:02.15. Megan Delamer raced in the 3000 meter steeplechase taking third in 11:55.80.
Vahrenkamp closed stating, "The greatest accomplishments for us are when athletes learn to do things on their own and are able to develop a solid understanding of their event. That is beginning to happen and it's really gratifying."
Queens will be back in action at the Johnson C. Smith University Invite April 11-12.
