The STJ team turned in another good performance today at the Great Dane Meet on Friday at the Armory. The team finished 6th out of 30 scoring teams.
STJ packed a one two punch in the High Jump with Priscilla Frederick winning with a new PR and Provisional NCAA qualifier of 1.78 m (5'-10"). Finishing right behind Priscilla, Venisa Clark-Lee jumped 1.70m (5'-7") which qualifies Venisa for both the Big East and ECAC championships.
Sophomore Bintou Dibba backed up the jumps squad with a 4th place finish and Big East qualifier in the long jump with a leap of 5.64m (18'-6")
Leading the way on the track, Senior Tyneka Greene won the 800 in a Big East qualifying time of 2:15.76. Paula Rennalls improved her season best in the 200m with a 3rd place 24.75 finish. Fellow senior Phobay Kutu-Akoi followed Paula home with an 8th place 25.01 performance. Kim Piard followed her Big East qualifier last week in Penn State with a 9th place Big East qualifier in the 400 in a time of 57.73. Kim was followed by 3 other STJ athletes in cracking the 60 second barrier. The 400 meter relay squad teamed up to crack open an ECAC qualifier of 3:52.60.
In the field Freshman Chanel King continued to improve in the weight throw with an 8th place finish and another PR of 14.48m (47'-6 1/4")
Next up is the Metropolitan championships also at the Armory on Thursday at 4 PM. The meet promises to be a heavily contested event with strong teams being fielded by Rutgers, Manhattan College, Columbia and St John's
