ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Backed by winning performances from sophomore Latoya James ( at right) in the 100 meter hurdles and from freshman Miranda Reinson in the pole vault, the University of Delaware women’s outdoor track & field squad posted a second place team finish at the Navy Invitational at Ingram Field Saturday afternoon.
Delaware, competing for the second time this spring, posted 33 top 10 performances for the day and earned 128 points to place second in the seven-team field. Host Navy won the team title with 241 points and was followed by Delaware, Maryland-Eastern Shore (123.5), Towson (111), Howard (76.5), Rowan (66), and American (7).
The Blue Hens will continue action next Saturday when Delaware competes at both the Fred Hardy Invitational at the University of Richmond (Mar. 30-31) and at the Towson Invitational (Mar. 30).
James, who won four meet titles and set the school record in the 60 meter hurdles during the indoor season and won the 100 meter hurdles at last week’s season-opening VCU Invitational, continued the momentum Saturday as she won the 100 meter hurdles competition with a time of 14.16. James, who set the UD record in the 100 meter hurdles as a freshman with a time of 14.07 last season as a freshman, also competed in the long jump at Navy and finished fifth with a leap of 17-2 3/4.
In addition to James, Reinson also captured a title at Navy as she won the pole vault competition with a leap of 11-1 3/4.
Also for the Hens, Nijah Dupiche was second in the 400 meters (57.55), Haley Gorenflo was second in the pole vault (10-8), Michelle White was second in the triple jump (35-6) and fourth in the long jump (17-4), Jillian Seamon was second in the javelin (121-5), and Courtney Sniscak was second in the hammer (165-10).
