April 25, 2015 | Women's Track and Field
PHILADELPHIA (4/24/15) – Day 1 of the Penn Relays for the Princeton women's track & field team came with a win in the hammer throw and the 4x400 relay advancing to the Championship of America Race.
Day 2 was a lighter day for the Tigers as they competed in just two events.
An event that the team competes in rarely during the season, but almost always at Penn Relays was the 4x1500. The all sophomore relay of Megan Curham, Katie Hanss, Lizzie Bird and Zoe Sims posted an 18:13.98 to finish in seventh place. Curham led off with a 4:24.7, followed by Bird at 4:35.7. Hanss took the third leg in 4:39.4 and Sims anchored with a 4:34.2.
Senior Sarah Waszkewitz threw a season best 40.97 (134-4) in the college javelin. It was the first time this season she reached 40 meters as the finished 19th in the event.
On tap for tomorrow will be the 4x400 and 4x800 Championship of America races. The team will also compete at the TCNJ Invitational.
