The Gordon College Women's Track and Field team competed against the weather and against conference foes Endicott, Suffolk, Nichols, and Wentworth today the the Suffolk Invitational in Hingham, Massachusetts.
Highlights
- Abigail Baier continued to be a force to be reckon with in the 800m as the junior again took home the top spot with a time of 2:25.42.
- Rookie, Rachel Brennan and Suffolk's Sydney Fogg were neck in neck in the mile, but the reigning Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Rookie of the Week edged Fogg out with a time of 5:26.08. Brennan's time set a new school record by eight seconds.
- The 100m and 400m hurdles were owned by the Fighting Scots with Amanda Page claiming first in the 100h with a time of 17.83, while Emma Shearer was the clear winner in the 400h, crossing the line at the 1:08.51 mark (19 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher).
