LAST TIME OUT: Columbia took to the track and field on Jan. 28 at the UAlbany Great Dane Classic held in Staten Island, New York at the Ocean Breeze Sports Complex. During the meet, Kali Hatcher leaped 40-01.50/12.23m to win the triple jump, while nine Lion men and women finished inside the top-five in a solid day of competition for the Lions.

Elena Wilson clocked a 22.33 in the 200m, Delaney Sanacore posted a time of 2:25.40 in the 800m, while in the shot put Patrick Passalacqua set a mark of 50-05.25/15.37m and McKinlee Morris posted a mark of 43-10.75/13.38m, giving Columbia four Lions who finished inside the top-two in their respective events.

BACK IN THE ARMORY: Columbia last competed at The Armory on Jan. 15, when they took part in the TCNJ Lions Indoor Invite. In that meet, Columbia had six women post first place marks, while Passalacqua nearly broke the school record in the shot put with a second-place toss of 53-09.75/16.40m, the second-best mark in program history.

In the high jump, Anna Jordahl-Henry cleared 5-05.25/1.66m, in the triple jump Tiffany Bautista launched 36-02.25/11.03m and the 4x400m-Relay squad of Fredericka Walker, Sydney Goldson, Kali Long and Amara Onyeukwu clocked a time of 3:56.54 for the Columbia women's six first place finishes.
