The fantastic freshman year of Debbie Boerke came to an end
in winning fashion on Saturday afternoon at the ECAC Championships (see
scoreboard photo above for proof!). Debbie won her section of the 400-meter
hurdle trials, taking top honors in section 3 with a time of 1:01.98.
Unfortunately for Debbie, the advancement formula was strictly on time, and her
time was the 10th fastest out of 28 women who completed the race.
Since only the top 8 times advance, her season is over. And what a season –
indoor and outdoor – it was for Debbie, who set numerous school records as an individual
and a relay team member. There is great promise for the future as well: Of the
11 freshmen who completed Saturday’s ECAC 400 hurdles race, Debbie was the top first-year
finisher.
