Final Schedule for Alumni Weekend

Here is a link for the events for April 1 - 3. As it stands right now we have 114 alums coming and 25 spouses/significant others. I'll e-mail it to everyone tomorrow as well.  Here is who is coming. 

Two Invitationals

This past weekend the William and Mary Track and Field Team traveled in two different directions to reach some top performances.  A few members of the Women’s Track and Field Team traveled to Raleigh Relays to race a 10k and a small number of men and women traveled to Richmond for the Fred Hardy Invitational with many of the members of the Tribe training thru the weekend for the Colonial Relays scheduled for next weekend.

At the Raleigh Relays, Senior Kelsey Budd and Junior Sara Lasker traveled south for a fast 10k. Both athletes raced strong hitting the 5k mark in 18:20. Kelsey Budd pulled away from Sara with less than 1000m left to finished 9^th overall and in a Personal Best time of 36:29.89, which qualifies her for the ECAC Championships. Sara Lasker was close behind in 12^th with a personal best of her own of 36:37.27 and also qualifying for the ECAC Championships which will be held at Princeton University in May.

At the Richmond Fred Hardy Invitational Sophomore Melissa DiVecchia finished 8^th overall in the 3000m in a new Personal Best of 10:12.40 with Junior Kristen Dietz finished in 10^th with a personal best of her own of 10:14.45. In the men’s meet, William and Mary was represented well by the throwers with Junior Brandon Heroux setting a meet record of 69.17m in the Javelin which is the second best throw all time by Brandon. Senior Zach Jordan continued his winning ways with a first place finish in the Hammer with a throw of 55.48m and Senior Dan Klatzkin finished 2^nd in the Discus with a throw of 46.02m.  

Up next for the Tribe will be the Colonial Relays on Thursday – Saturday March 30-April 2^nd.

More on men and women

IC4A/ECAC

I must say that it is great to have a nice looking format for the W&M Tribeathletics page FINALLY.  You can see there that W&M had two (Lewis Woodward and Alex McGrath both run 8:16) earn All-East in the 3K and Zach Jordan who earned his All-East title by finishing 7th in the weight throw.  Go here for the other men's results.  The highest finish came from Chas Gillespie who was third in the 5K in 14:01.

For the women, Elaina Boularis was 7th in 9:37 setting a new frosh record while Nicole Dory just missed the All-East distinction finishing in 9th in the pole vault. More on women
