ECAC Championships: Day 1 results

Really excellent first day at ECACs for the women, with the following awesome highlights in multiple events:

--Denise Grohn (photo above, by Jenna) breaking Emily Burns’ school record in the 1,500 by 0.27 with a time of 4:33.08. Emily came close as well, finishing a few ticks behind at 4:34.00. Great race for both.

--Freshman Maria Smith earning a scoring spot in the 3,000-meter run that featured very slow, tactical racing in the beginning and the middle. Classmate Gianna Tedeschi rolled with the up-and-down pace very well also, nearly PRing in less-than-ideal racing from the field.

--Junior Jordan Casey finishing a truly awesome junior year with a six-second PR in the steeplechase race.

--Freshman Hayley Collins finishing about as good a freshman year as we can remember with a PR in the 5,000-meter run.

Sunday’s entrants are Debbie Boerke in the 400-meter hurdles and our 4x800 relay.
