PRINCETON, N.J. – After a dominant performance at its dual with Navy last weekend, the Princeton women's track and field team will cross the Delaware to compete in the Quaker Invitational at Penn on Friday, January 17th and Saturday, January 18th.

Princeton won the Navy Dual last weekend with a final score of 104-75, with the Tigers winning 12 of 14 individual events and taking one relay.

Hannah Riggins set a new facility record at the Wesley A. Brown Field House, running the 1000m in 2:45.87. Her time broke the previous record held by Rachel McArthur from Villanova who ran a 2:46.51 in 2019, and she also now ranks third in Princeton history.

In the 500m, Maisha Atkinson ran a blazing 1:12.48 for an all-time program second-best.

In the long jump, Georgina Scoot won the event with a mark of 6.26 which currently holds the 13th spot nationally.

First-year Jazmyn Singh won the 400m at Navy with a mark of 56.20.

Her performance at Navy followed up a school-record breaking performance in the 300m of 39.04, which Singh ran in her collegiate debut at the Rutgers Holiday Classic on December 6.

On the same weekend, Mena Scatchard represented Princeton individually at the BU Sharon Colyear-Danvile Season Opener in Boston.

Scatchard ran a time of 9:00.86 for a new personal best and a 15th place finish at the meet, also setting a new program record. Her time is also the fourth-fastest indoor 3000m performance in the history of the Ivy League. Scatchard currently ranks 10th nationally in the 3000m on the D1 NCAA Qualifying list.

Princeton is coming off an Ivy Cross Country Championship title win in November, the program's 10th all-time and first since 2015.

During last year's indoor season, the Tigers took second place at Ivy Heps with a total of 134 points from four individual Ivy championships, one relay championship, and four new school records.
The Tigers are led by Michelle Eisenreich, in her ninth season as head coach after joining the program in 2016. She has coached eight Tigers to All-America honors along with over 30 individual Ivy titles and multiple NCAA appearances.
