The Emory University Women's Outdoor Track and Field team
utilized a mix of strong returning veteran athletes and talented
young runners to put together another successful campaign during
the 2008 season.
The Eagles recorded their 18th top-three finish at the University
Athletic Association (UAA) Championships in the 21 years of
competition, as Emory scored 116.50 points during the meet to
finish third overall. Three Emory athletes came away with
Individual UAA Championships, as junior Jordan
Beall won the long jump, senior Tracy
Whittaker won the pole vault, and junior Rebecca
Willett finished first in the 800-meter run. All
together, 12 Emory athletes came away from the UAA Championships
with 17 all-UAA certificates.
Emory recorded third-place finishes in both of its home meets
during the season, the Emory Invitational and the Emory Asics
Classic. In the squad's only other meet with team scoring,
the Mountain Laurel Relays in Sewanee, TN, the Eagles finished
second out of five teams.
Emory also received a school-record setting performance from
Natalie Waryck during the season, as the junior
ran a time of 37:59.28 in the 10,000-meter run at the UAA
Championships. Beall's long jump of 5.59 meters was the
second-best distance in school history in the event.
