ENGINEERS THIRD RAIL AT WILLIAMS
Tweedie and Schor score with PRs
TechTrack returned from Purple Valley a bit blue, finishing third at the Williams quad meet on Saturday. The host 262.5, followed by RPI (153), MIT (148), and Westfield State (34.5).
A perennial Division III National power, the Ephs dominated most events and led from the opening events. A close battle ensued between the two Engineers' Cup rivals, with RPI narrowly prevailing. The team was without the services of the pair of aces in the distance races, as Julia Espel did not make the trip and Martha Buckly sat out with a calf injury.
Best team placings were a troika of seconds; Cat Tweedie bettered her indoor PR with a 11'7" clearance in the pole vault (same as the winning height but 2nd on misses), Alisha Schor clocked a personal best in the 3000 at 11:16.93, and Adrienne Irmer spun the weight 44 11 1/2".
Other notable performances were turned in by Nancy Benedetti who scored PR's in both the 1000 and 1500, moving up the indoor lists in both, Andrea Staid who moved to #5 all-time in the 800, and Christina Fanchiang and Liz Au who both upped their vault bests to 9'4 1/4".
The team returns to action at home on Saturday, January 31 at 12 Noon.
