PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The Rutgers women's track and field team is off to Boston, Massachusetts for the final indoor meet of the season as the Scarlet Knights compete at the 2019 ECAC Indoor Championships.

LAST TIME AT THE ECAC INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
Oniesha Clarke placed in fourth in the long jump to highlight the returning Scarlet Knights at last year's appearance at the ECAC Indoor Championships.

Clarke placed fourth in the long jump with a leap of 5.70m (18' 8.5") and also raced in the 60m preliminaries and semifinals, but was scratched from the finals. In the semifinals, she placed second with a time of 7.48.

The Scarlet Knights also saw a PR in the 5000m by Olympia Martin (16:49.19) in her fifth place performance.

LAST TIME OUT
Senior Jenna Sobieski captured the second fastest 800m time in the Rutgers record books and classmate Oniesha Clarke made her second-straight 60m finals appearance as the top performers at the 2019 Big Ten Indoor Championships

Sobieski collected a finals time of 2:07.73 to finish in sixth place, a mark that was .67 seconds behind the 800m Scarlet Knight benchmark set by Jennifer Heggie at the 1994 NCAA Championships.

Clarke, meanwhile, raced in the 60m finals for the second-straight season and finished in eighth place with a time of 7.60.

Several other Scarlet Knights picked up PRs in their conference championship appearances. Junior Stephanie Mauer set a new personal in the 3000m (10:15.38) and freshman Iyanla Kollock reset her best time in the 60m (7.62).

UP NEXT
The Rutgers women's track and field team will begin the outdoor season at Yellow Jacket Invitational hosted by Georgia Tech on Mar. 15-16.
