Track and Field Posts Strong Showing In Split Weekend
Mar 28 | Track & Field
RALEIGH, N.C. and ORLANDO, Fla. – Rutgers track and field split its squad, sending the distance group to the Raleigh Relays, while the remaining Scarlet Knights competed at the UCF Knights Invitational on Thursday, March 26 through Saturday, March 28. RU collected six event wins and several PRs between the two meets.
"Another strong week," said Bobby Farrell, director of track & field and cross country. "These last two weekends, we really wanted to take advantage of the weather and competition. I think it was a success. We already put 22 athletes in position to qualify for NCAAs. Next week will be a lighter week as we prep for our two home meets coming up in April."
A pair of Scarlet Knights narrowly missed hitting school records in two events on the women's side, in the javelin and shot put. Riley Brazier was one foot off the best mark in program history in the javelin as she won the event with a throw of 50.58m (165' 11"), which is second-best in the record books. Tey'ana Ames missed the shot put school record by a few inches as she finished third in the event with a distance of 16.20m (53' 1.75"), good for No. 2 all-time.
Rutgers took the top spot in the women's long jump with Paige Floriea finishing first with a leap of 6.03m (19' 9.5"), while Jenovia Logan won the high jump, clearing 1.75m (5' 8.75"). Malina Bohlmann was second in the javelin with a throw of 46.57m (152' 9").
On the men's side, the Scarlet Knights earned victories in three events, including a total of 10 top-three finishes.
Rutgers finished first and second in the pole vault with Brian O'Sullivan winning the event with a height of 5.51m (18' 1"), followed by Ryan Merlino who cleared 5.09m (16' 8.25"). RU then went 1-2-3 in the long jump led by Sincere Robinson who recorded a leap of 7.63m (25' 0.5"). Donavan Anderson finished second with a mark of 7.36m (24' 1.75"), while Zach Love placed third, jumping 7.24m (23' 9").
The duo of Joseph Oduro and Daniel Arana finished second and third, respectively in the triple jump with Orduro recorded a leap of 15.35m (50' 4.5"), while Arana jumped 15.34m (50' 4"). Andrew Krall finished third in the hammer with a throw of 63.24m (207' 5") and Malachi Yehudah gave RU another third-place finish as he cleared a height of 2.09m (6' 10.25") in the high jump.
Bryce Tucker added a win in the 400-meter hurdles, running 50.77 and Shamali Whittle finished third in the 200-meter with a time of 20.88 to round out the top performances on the men's side.
At the Raleigh Relays, a pair of Scarlet Knights posted the second-best times in program history. Liam Tilton ran the second-fastest 10,000-meter time on the men's side, clocking 29:51.44, while Kelseigh O'Neil ran the No. 2 all-time mark in the women's 5,000-meter, finishing with a time of 16:18.76.
The Scarlet Knights will remain in the Garden State for their next competition, traveling to Princeton for the Sam Howell Invitational on Saturday, April 4.
