Stony Brook Wolfie: Women's results and splits

A great day at Stony Brook for our women. The above photo of our very unlikely 4x400 relay tells the story of some fast racers: Jenna Robinson led off the 4x400, but the bigger news was her nearly one-minute PR in the 5,000-meter run earlier in the day. She went from never having broken 19 minutes to nearly breaking 18 minutes (18:03.11, second place). Wow! Denise Grohn anchored the 4x400, but the much better news was her monster breakthrough in the 3,000-meter run, where she qualified for ECACs and was one second off the school record, with her stellar time of 9:55.31 (third place). Wow, wow! And hey. Let’s think about THIS: Who in their right mind does a 5k/4x400 double or 3k/4x400 double? These two track beasts, that’s who. So very cool to see! The other two 4x400 legs – Kerry Gaye and Emily Burns – had strong races in their open events as well; Kerry PRed in the 1,500 and Emily had her best 800 time in quite some time. So yeah, ladies, flex those muscles, because you flexed them on the track today. Nicely done!

A few other highlights: Debbie Boerke continued her stellar outdoor season with a victory in the 400-meter hurdles in yet another ECAC qualifying mark of 1:02.23. Fallon Quigley had her best day of high jumping in quite some time, placing second with a leap of 1.55 meters, just off her school record of 1.57 meters. Overall, it was a great day in the chilly/breezy sun at Stony Brook.
