PRINCETON, N.J. (12/4/14) - The Princeton indoor track & field season gets underway on Sunday, Dec. 7 when the Tigers hosts the New Year's Invitational at Jadwin Gym.
Eight schools will visit Jadwin Gym for the meet. They include: Bryn Mawr, Cheyney, Delaware State, Georgian Court, Howard, Monmouth, Morgan State, Rider, Rowan, TCNJ and Towson. Athletes from various track clubs will also be competing.
The meet begins at 11 a.m., with the women's weight throw and men's long jump. The track events begin at noon with the women's 60m hurdle preliminaries. The last event of the day, the women's 4x8, is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
At last year's meet, the women won three events. The 2014 NCAA hammer throw champion began her season with a win in the weight throw. She threw to 19.52 (64-00.50) on her final attempt of the day. Five of Ratcliffe's six throws were over 16 meters. Senior Imani Oliver captured her first win of the season in the triple jump, as the only jumper to reach 12 meters and did so on her first attempt of the season, at 12.35 (40-6.25). Freshman Allison Harris proved her talents instantly in the pole vault. She cleared 3.50 (11-5.75) on her first attempt at that height.
The men's team also claimed three wins. Senior Omar Jarrett won the high jump clearing 2.01 (6-7) on his third and final try at that height. Senior Tom Hopkins won the 300 at 34.3 and was the runner-up in the long jump with a PR of 7.61 (24-11.75). The Tigers went 1-2-5 in the shot put with senior Scott Rushton claiming the victory at 16.59 (54-5.25). Five of his six throws were over 16 meters.
