The College recorded several Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) qualifiers and an NCAA qualifier over the weekend in Durham, N.C., and Princeton on Friday and Saturday.
At the Duke University Asics Invitational, athletes from all NCAA divisions competed in the same events.
Leading the way for the College was sophomore Stephanie Herrick, who posted an NCAA provisional mark of 2:13.45 and took 10th place in the 800 meters. Herrick was the top Division III runner in the field of 50.
"It was a great experience to run at Duke," Herrick said. "Most of the competition was from big Division I schools, and it all got me more excited to run."
"I went out a little too fast and would have liked to run a second faster," Herrick said, "but I am still happy. I wanted to get into the race and compete with some good competition, and I think I did."
Senior Angela Tecco took 25th place in the same race with an ECAC qualifying time of 2:16.94.
Continuing the trend of ECAC qualifiers was junior Jessica Bonelli, who captured 14th place in the 400 meters at 58.46.
Freshman Kristen Tricocci had an ECAC qualifying mark of 5.19 meters in the long jump for 21st place.
Bonelli, Tecco and Tricocci teamed with freshman Jianna Spadaccini in the 4x400 for an ECAC time of 4:02.10.
The men's 4x100 team, comprised of junior Wes Friedman, sophomore Rob McGowan and freshmen Lee Jones and Steve Murray, also qualified for the ECAC with a ninth-place finish at 43.39 seconds.
McGowan also recorded ECAC qualifiers in the 200 meters and the 4x400 meter team event. McGowan qualified in the 200 meters with a time of 49.20 seconds. He teamed up with Murray, sophomore Woodrow Prevard and freshman DeShard Stevens for a time of 3:22.42.
