Women's Track and Field has Strong Showing at BU David Hemery Valentine and Giegengack Invitational
February 10, 2023 | Women's Track and Field
The Princeton women's track team continues to impress throughout the 2023 indoor season, with more all-time Princeton performances recorded and personal bests set for the tiger women this weekend.
The women started out at the BU David Hemery Valentine Invitational on Friday evening and closed out the weekend at the Giegengack Invitational on Saturday.
At BU, the team wanted to take advantage of one of the fastest ovals in the country and national level competition, and at Yale, wanted to take advantage of a fast straight away and fast jump runways. The Tiger women were able to optimize both facilites and the results speak for themselves.
BU David Hemery Valentine Invitational
The Tigers recorded several, new, top-ten Princeton performances while in Boston, including two, all-time No. 1 performances in the 3000m run as well as the 4x400 relay.
The new all-time Princeton performance in the 3000m run was from Abby Loveys. Loveys crossed the finish line at 9:11.96, which will put her name at the top of the all-time performances list. The previous No. 1 Princeton performance was from Cack Ferrell '06 at 9:13.42.
In the 4x400 relay, the squad of Brianna Mponzi, Adelaide Asante, India Ingemi, and Arianna Smith, impressed with a first-place finish at 3:40.89, and a new Princeton all-time record. The previous No. 1 Princeton mark was 3:42.05.
Maggie Liebich was the top Tiger within the 1-mile run, finishing in 34th place at 4:39.36, this mark will now serve as the No. 3 all-time Princeton performance and puts Liebich just behind Olympian Lizzy Bird and 2022 graduate Caroline Timm.
In the 800m dash, Maggie Hock had a great showing. She finished with a time of 2:04.61, which will now put her performance at No. 2 on the Princeton all-time performances list. Morgan Monesmith finished in 2:07.13, taking the fifth spot on the Princeton all-time performances list.
A trio of Tigers impressed in the 200m dash. Brianna Mponzi took ninth place, (24.49) holding her spot at No. 8 on the all-time performances list, India Ingemi came right behind in tenth (24.52), holding her spot at No. 9 on the performances list, and Adelaide Asante took 12th place (24.60). Asante's finish will now be recorded as the tenth best all-time Princeton performance within the 200m dash.
The depth of the Princeton women was on full display with the DMR team of Maggie Hock, Stella Veith, Morgan Monesmith, and Abby Loveys, who finished in 11:22.28 to finish third overall. This performance will now sit at No. 7 on the Princeton all time list.
Arianna Smith impressed within a competitive field in the 400m dash. She finished within the top ten, crossing the finish line at 55.19.
Two Tigers represented in the top-20 within the 1000m run. Mena Scatchard took 14th place, (2:50.63) and Tsion Yared came in right behind at 15th (2:50.71).
Giegengack Invitational
On Saturday afternoon at Yale, the triple jumpers continued to dominate with a first-place finish from Tia Rozario and a second-place finish from Alexandra Kelly. Rozario set a new all time, PR of 12.67m which will also set the new, Singaporean lndoor National record. Rozario's mark will also keep her place at No. 3 on the Princeto all-time performances list.
Alexandra Kelly finished with an admirable mark of 12.57m.
Georgina Scoot set a new, indoor PR in the long jump with a leap of 5.79m. This impressive jump will land her at No. 6 on the all-time Princeton performances list.
The Tiger throwers showed their dominance with Annika Kelly winning the weight throw with a 17.96m toss and Siniru Iheoma taking first in the shot put with a 14.60m mark.
Oliva Hee and Harlowe Brummett-Dunn took home the top places within the 60m dash with times of 7.56 and 7.66.
Hee's time will tie her lifetime PR that also shares the No. 1 Princeton record with Brianna Mponzi and Christina Walters.
Head Coach Michelle Eisenreich commented on this weekends' performances, "This season, the team has been laser focused on putting ourselves in the best position possible to challenge for an Ivy League title. This weekend showed we are ready for the fight!"
