PRINCETON, N.J. (4/9/16) - The weather put a damper on the weather for Day 1 of the Sam Howell Invitational but the Princeton women's track & field team didn't disappoint, earning four wins this afternoon.

Junior Katie Hanss, who had the top collegiate time in last night's 1500, earned a win this afternoon. She posted a time of 2:15.63 in the 800. In today's 1500 it was sophomore Melinda Renuart with the win at 4:39.17.
Freshman Shea Copeland was fifth in the 100 at 13.50. Five Tigers qualified for the 100-meter hurdles but did not compete in the final due to weather. Only three competitors were in the 400-hurdle final with freshman Carly Bonnet and sophomore Madelyn Baron going 1-2 at 10-4.38 and 1:09.13.
Most of the field events were contested indoors today because of the rain and temperatures in the hi 30s.

Harris matched the meet record of 3.95 (12-11.50) as she claimed yet another victory in the pole vault. She passed on heights 2.95-3.75 and then easily cleared 3.80 and 3.95 on her first attempts.
The Tigers went 2-3-4-5-6 in the long jump with junior Ariel Becker taking second place with a jump of 5.59 (18-4.25). Senior Sara Ronde wasn't far behind at 5.58 (18-3.75).
