St. Julien Leads Torrid Record-Setting Day

Meet Results
PORTSMOUTH, R.I.—Sophomore Maddie St. Julien (Wareham, Mass.) erupted with a record-setting performance to lead the Fighting Scots to a third-place finish in the Commonwealth Coast Conference Championships hosted by Roger Williams on Saturday.

Whatever the sophomore multi-event performer entered on Saturday she turned into points for the Scots. With senior standout Corrine Previte (Danvers, Mass.) missing the meet, St. Julien picked up the slack for Gordon to reel in a bronze medaling for the squad.

St. Julien opened the day with third in the 100 Meter Dash, finishing with a time of 13.44 in the final heat. Just an event later, she followed that up with fourth in the 200 to earn another four points.

She then turned her attention to the sand where she won the women's long jump going away. She bested the competition by a full foot and smashed the Gordon record in the process with a day's best mark of 5.05 meters. Her best jump also created a new meet record, beating RWU's Megan Breault, who set the record in 2011 at 4.99 meters.

The record breaking was not done there as she set another school mark in the triple jump by leaping to a 10.76 final—good enough for third in the meet.

Tiredness apparently was not a factor as St. Julien was also a part of two relays that earned six points each.

Mackenzie Hinds (Higganum, Conn.) was a part of both of those relays, but also earned some individual points herself. The dynamic Hinds finished just fractions of a second behind the winner in the 400-meter race with a time of 1:02.99, which was good enough for third in the event. She followed that performance up with another third-place showing in the 800.

Kayla Kroning (Tuxedo Park, N.Y.) joined the medalist party by beating everyone in the 1,500m. The junior found herself in a neck-and-neck battle with Cianna Lynch of Salve Regina, but she beat her opponent to the finish by a second to claim 10 points.

Rookie Angie Epplett (Uxbridge, Mass.) was the long distance guru on the afternoon, turning in top three showings in the 5K and 3,000k races. She finished second in the former and third in the latter.
