The Emory women, who enter this weekend still atop the USTFCCCA South/Southeast Regional Rankings, will look to continue their string of meet victories going this Friday. The Eagles have won all three scored meets this outdoor season and are coming off a strong showing at the Berry Field Day Invitational last week. Sophomore Gabrielle Stravach and the 4x400m Relay team of junior Alexa Young, sophomore Erica Goldman, freshman Haley Moyer and junior Elizabeth Magno scored first place victories and a trio of freshman, Anne Marie Simoneaux, Dilys Osei and Ariana Newhouse posted new season-best team marks in the pole vault, 100m Hurdles and 200m Dash events.

The Emory men’s team jumped from the third position to no.2 in this week’s USTFCCCA South/Southeast Regional Rankings with their third place effort at the Berry Field Day Invitational. Senior Jack Seigel earned a pair of first place finishes in the shot put and discus including a new personal-best in the shot put at 14.11m, a mark that is the third best ever in school history. Classmate Spencer Koh also had a terrific performance at the meet as he came in first in the javelin with a UAA-leading mark of 52.82 and added a season-best and fourth best mark in school history in the pole vault with a height of 4.45m. The Eagles also saw sophomore Daniel Pietsch take first in the 400m Dash (48.64) and fellow sophomore Max Brown run a new team-best time in the 800m Run, finishing third with a time of 1:55.80.

Results and a full recap of Emory’s performance at the Mount Laurel Invitational will be posted to emoryathletics.com at the conclusion of the meet.
