W&M Posts Pair of ECAC Qualifications at Tribe Invitational

WILLIAMSBURG - Led by Abby Lemon’s (Berryville, Va.) near-school record throw in the hammer, the women’s track and field team had a very successful grand re-opening of the home track at Zable Stadium today.

Complete Results

Lemon won the hammer throw by nearly ten feet, uncorking a monster heave of 159’ 4”, only four inches shy of the school record, to earn her first career ECAC berth. Senior Jen Showker (Harrisonburg, Va.) was third with her toss of 137’ 2”, and freshman Ashley Williams (Williamsburg, Va.) took fourth as her throw of 134’ 11” moved her into 10th place on the W&M all-time top-10.

Showker also threw for a personal-record 144’ 9”, second-best in school history, to win the women’s discus and qualify for the ECAC Championships. It was part of the first-ever day of competition at the Stimson Throwing Events Area, named earlier this month in honor of long-time Tribe mentor Dan Stimson. Freshman Carly Morse (Sumerduck, Va.) was the runner-up with a distance of 121’ 4”, and her classmate Rebecca Mikulas (Troutville, Va.) took fifth with a heave of 117’ 10”.

Senior Bonnie Meekins (Herndon, Va.) picked up a trio of victories on the day, posting the top marks in the javelin (125’ 2”), long jump (17’ 9”), and 100m hurdles (15.11). The 4x100m relay team of Hillary Schwab (Richmond, Va.), Ashley Madonick (Seaside Park, N.J.), Dana Harvey (Mechanicsville, Va.), and Alyssa Gaeto (Brentwood, Tenn.) won in a time of 52 seconds even, with the team of Mallory Hogan (Hartford, Conn.), Erin Gnass (Brentwood, Tenn.), Nicole Bost (Mechanicsville, Va.), and Nicole Kazuba (Chantilly, Va.) taking third in 54.61.

Gaeto won the triple jump with a leap of 34’ 7.5”, and took third in the long jump at 16’ 8” and third also in the 200m dash, timing 27.04. Schwab, a senior, won the 100m dash in a time of 12.79 and was fourth in the 200m, crossing the line 27.11 second after the gun. Sophomore Katie Endres (Sterling, Va.) led a Tribe sweep of the top five positions in the 3,000m run, timing 10:29.68 to break the tape. She was followed through the line by Karin Ohman (Arlington, Va.) (10:47.89), Sallie Ford (Lynchburg, Va.) (10:49.82), Rachel Ohm (West Coxsackie, N.Y.) (10:53.48), and Ashley Davies (Whitehouse Station, N.J.) (10:56.21).

Freshman Emily Anderson (Golf, Ill.) has quickly established herself as one the Tribe’s top middle-distance threats, winning the 800m today in 2:13.87. Sophomore Rebecca Ward (Midlothian, Va.) was second in 2:14.31, followed by Allie Lewis (Roanoke, Va.) in 2:15.02 and Emily Schroeder (Midlothian, Va.) in 2:15.62. Freshman Anna Brousell (Wilmington, Del.) took runner-up honors in the 1,500m with a time of 4:42.54. Senior Kate Willever (Pennington, N.J.) was third in that race with a time of 4:49.70, and sophomore Kelsey Snowden (Fairfax Station, Va.) was fifth in 4:53.54.

In the shot put, Showker took second with a put of 43’ 1.5”, and Morse was third with a mark of 41’ 4.25”. Kazuba was the runner-up in the pole vault with a height of 10’ 6”, and Gnass and Bost tied for third at 10’ even. The 4x400m relay team of Meekins, Anderson, Kristin Krejmas (Milford, Pa.), and Ward finished second in 4:02.76. Third place went to the team of Harvey, Snowden, Willever, and Schroeder in 4:10.42, and the team of Kazuba, Gnass, Bost, and Adeola Abisogun (Herndon, Va.) was fourth in 4:29.70.

William and Mary returns to action next weekend, hosting the renowned Colonial Relays on April 6-7 again after a three year absence.
