BU Valentine: Women’s results

Another meet, another school record!

Congratulations to freshman Michelle Gaye, who won her section and shattered the school record in the mile run on Friday night at BU with a time of 4:55.95. The time eclipsed Brittany Burns’ 1-year-old record of 5:00.64, set at the MAAC Championships in 2011, and it is also another ECAC qualifying mark for Michelle. She qualified for ECACs with a school-record run in the 3,000 last Friday at the New Balance Collegiate meet at the NYC Armory.

Other highlights, from what I could gather from afar: In the 800-meter run, Briana Crowe ran a strong time of 2:18.15. In the 1,000, Christine Coughlin and Jackie Gamboli ran solid times of 2:58.36 and 2:58.44, respectively. Christina Turigiano won her heat (27) in the 400-meter dash. The 4x400 relay team won the sixth section and ran 4:11.68. Katie Messina had a big improvement in the 3,000 from last week (almost a 20-second jump, nice job!).

In all, this meet was an excellent tuneup for the women’s team for next Friday night’s MAAC Championships at the Armory.

Nicely done, ladies!
