BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The University of Delaware women’s indoor track & field dominated the action Saturday at the 20th annual John Covert Track & Field Class at Lehigh University’s Rauch Field House as the Blue Hens took first place in nine events in the non-scoring meet.
Delaware, which got double-win efforts from jumper Paige Morris, distance runner Alyssa Kennedy, and sprinter Ali Muro (at right), captured half of the 18 events to cap a successful day on the track.
Morris won two events as she captured the long jump with an ECAC-qualifying leap of 18-feet, 10 1/2-inches and added a second title with a winning leap of 37-10 3/4 in the triple jump.
