With one last weekend to get ready for the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship, a number of Eagles turned in strong performances at the War Eagle Invitational, hosted by Auburn University.

With a limited squad in action, Emory senior Alex Greenhouse recorded the team’s only provisional qualifying time of the meet, running a mark of 53.13 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles, good for a third-place finish in the event.  Greenhouse also finished 25^th in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.02 seconds.

Other top Emory men’s performers at the meet included Ben Euwer in the hammer throw (44.03 meters) and the javelin throw (45.35 meters), Brad Pruente in the long jump(6.24 meters), Chike Brennen in the 200-meter dash (24.19 seconds) and the 400-meter dash (52.45), Stephen Ellwood in the 1,500-meter run (4:00.58), Tim Halinski in the 5,000-meter run (15:57.31), Everett Bryant in the 110-meter hurdles (15.38 seconds) and Xavier Fowler in the triple jump (13.87 meters).

For the women, sophomore Alix Dyer led the way with a time of 12.37 seconds in the 100-meter dash, just seven hundredths of a second shy of a provisional qualifying time.  She also recorded a mark of 25.44 seconds in the 200-meter dash, .19 seconds short of the provisional time.

Other top finishers for the Emory women included Melanie Levy in the 400-meter dash (1:00.51), Jasmine McCullough in the 100-meter hurdles (15.31 seconds) and Charlotte Diggs in the 400-meter hurdles (1:05.92).
