The Ivy League Heps are set to get going on Saturday, May 8, hosted by Yale at the Cuyler Athletic Complex and Dwyer Track, Frank Field.
LAST TIME OUT: With a time of 28:55.99, Tyler Berg set a school record in 10,000m at the Virginia Challenge, while at Mark Young Challenge, hosted by Yale, Columbia Track & Field put together five winning performances by both the men and women in a solid weekend of action at two different meets.
At the Virginia Challenge, hosted by Virginia, Berg clocked what is the first under 29 minute 10,000m in program history, finishing sixth overall in the competitive meet. Not to be outdone, Michael Danzi added an eighth-place finish in the 1,500m, clocking a time of 3:42.22, the third-best time in program history.
On the women's side, in Virginia, Nikki Vanasse posted a 13th-place time of 4:18.42, the fourth best time in program history.
At Yale, Columbia's winning performances were highlighted by the women's high jump, where Columbia took the top three spots, led by Anna Jordahl-Henry who cleared 1.68m. Tiffany Bautista finished second, needing one more attempt to clear 1.68m and Julia Jordahl-Henry made it a family affair, clearing 1.64m to take third.
Elsewhere in the field, Kali Hatcher leaped 12.53m to take first in the long jump to give Columbia three winning marks from the field. On the track, Alex Rodman finished first in the 800m with a time of 2:13.06, while for the men Jack Bennett finished first in the 5,000m with a time of 10:38.37 and Gavin White took the top spot in the 3,000m Steeplechase with a time of 9:47.19.
