PRINCETON,
NJ -- The University of Delaware men's and
women's outdoor track and field squads
competed at the IC4A and ECAC Outdoor
Track and Field Championships this past
weekend at Princeton University's Weaver
Stadium.
Delaware
senior pole vaulter Casey Bennett, who
captured the Colonial Athletic Association
championship three weeks ago, was the Blue
Hens' top finisher as she placed seventh
in the ECAC women's pole vault competition
to earn All-East honors. Bennett, who will
compete at the NCAA East Regionals in two
weeks at Manhattan College, jumped to a
height of 11-feet, 7 3/4 inches Saturday
to tie three others for seventh place.
Pennsylvania's Samantha Crook won the
title with a vault of 13-feet, 1 1/2
inches.
Also
competing for the UD women's team was the
4 x 100 meter relay team of Brittany
Wright, Rayna Horsey, Kristen Frustillo,
and Domonique Carter which placed 21st
overall with a time of 48.26.
The
Delaware men were scheduled to compete in
five events during the IC4A championships
but were limited due to several injuries.
Jay
Bradley placed 23rd in the 110 meter high
hurdles with a time of 14.88 Saturday
while Mike Yost (right), this year's CAA
discus champion, placed 15th in the hammer
throw with a toss of 171-09 despite
battling a back injury. Yost, who will
also compete at the NCAA regionals in two
weeks, also competed in the discus Friday
but fouled on all three attempts and
finished 19th.
Delaware's
Chris Dixon was scheduled to compete in
the men's 110 meter hurdles and 400 meter
hurdles Saturday but suffered a hamstring
injury. Since Dixon was also a member of
Delaware's 4 x 100 meter relay team, the
Blue Hens also did not compete in that
event.
