Women’s Track & Field Completes Competition at Columbia Challenge
January 25, 2020 | Women's Track and Field
NEW YORK – The Princeton University women's track & field team completed competition at the Columbia Challenge Saturday inside the Armory.
"It was a great meet where we saw a lot of other Ivy League schools; Columbia, Penn Harvard and Brown," said head coach Michelle Eisenreich. "We did really well against all of them and we have a bunch of things we need to tune up to continue to get faster and stronger. We were very pleased with how a lot of our women competed head-to-head and we need to keep at it and grind it out as we move into the last five weeks before Heps."
There were several highlights, including Annika Kelly's fifth-place finish in the weight throw. Her mark of 17.63 meters was just three inches off her all-time PR and the fifth-farthest throw in program history.
Competing in the 3K for the first time and in a highly-competitive field, Sophie Cantine delivered a strong performance as she finished fifth overall in 9:23.93 seconds. Her time was the eighth-fastest time in program history.
Katie DiFrancesco posted the second-fastest time in the Ivy League and finished 12th in the 200 meters; her time of 24.56 was narrowly short of her PR of 24.51 set at the Wesley A. Brown Invitational in January 2019.
Up Next
The Tigers will compete at the Crimson Elite on Friday, January 31 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
