Women's 4x400-meter relay wins Larry Ellis Invite; Alek Sauer, Kali Hatcher, Jack Pihlkar and Daniel Igbokwe earn second place finishes at Virginia Challenge.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va./PRINCETON, N.J.—Columbia men's and women's track and field athletes competed at two different events this weekend: the Virginia Challenge in Charlottesville, Va. and the Larry Ellis Invitational in Princeton, N.J. The Virginia Challenge will run Friday and Saturday, while the Larry Ellis Invitational is scheduled for Saturday only due to anticipated inclement weather.

Highlights from Columbia's weekend include a first place finish in the women's 4x400-meter relay at the Larry Ellis Invitational where Sydney Groom, Brianna Hodges, Jackie Patterson and Carlita Taylor won the event in 3:47.48. Second place finishes included Alek Sauer in the Virginia Challenge men's 800-meter run (1:49.98), Kali Hatcher in the Virginia Challenge women's triple jump (13.41m), Daniel Igbokwe in the Virginia Challenge men's triple jump (15.88m) and Jack Pihlkar in the Virginia Challenge hammer throw (59.84m).
