Three long distance events, the discus throw, and four of the heptathlon’s seven events were competed, all of which were final rather than preliminary rounds.

After a small portion of the team competed at Penn Relays earlier in the week, the meet was a chance for the rest of the Bulldogs to get one last race in before the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships next weekend.

Sophomore Alisha Jordan took her place at the start of the triple jump. Of 28 contenders, Jordan placed fourth-overcoming athletes from both the University of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth. Her impressive final mark met the distance of 12.09m (39-8).

Ten Bulldogs made the trip to Philadelphia to compete in the large meet, which includes divisions for masters and high school runners. Though those participating had to first meet steep entry standards, the day brought notable accomplishments for a few individuals of women's track and field.

The Penn Relays span from Tuesday to Saturday and include athletes of all ages, including high school and masters divisions. In addition to all eight Ivy League Schools, hundreds of teams will compete, including some traveling from outside the continental United States. Such a massive field necessitates steeper entry standards than have been seen so far this season. Thus, the meet is a great opportunity for the few Bulldogs making the trip to compete among upwards of 100,000 athletes.

With a large field of teams, including all Ivy League schools, the meet will undoubtedly provide a valuable opportunity for the Bulldogs to get a sense of where they stand in their division as the championship season encroaches.

The Bulldogs and Crimson will be pitted against athletes from Cambridge and Oxford in the 44th biennial meet of its kind. The competition is the oldest international series; it began in 1899, two years before the modern day Olympics. The meet is held every two years at alternating locations in both countries. This year, the four teams will compete in Boston at Harvard’s McCurdy Track. In addition to taking the meet the last time it was held, the teams from the two Ivy League schools have triumphed over their English rivals a majority of years. The meet uses traditional British scoring, meaning the first-place finisher in each event will score one point for his/her team.

While achieving high academic honors in her double majors of ecology and evolutionary biology, McCoy also makes time to compete in hurdles and javelin events on the Yale track team, performs and travels with a Yale women’s a cappella singing group, and, until recently, worked in the paleontology division at the Peabody Museum.

Though all athletes who competed gained an individual success in qualifying for the meet, YaleÃÆ'ƒÂ¢ÃÆ'¢â€šÂ¬ÃÆ'¢â€žÂ¢s 1,500-meter runners surpassed the rest.

Though a few individual performances stood out in various events, the distance runners stole the day. As the team spent the week before its first meet training in the chilly air of Virginia, these performances may mark the beginning of a successful season for many Bulldogs once they begin to cut back on workouts for individual meets.

The Bulldogs have been training as a team at the college in Williamsburg since the start of the week.

Senior Elizabeth Marvin, sophomore Anna Demaree, and freshmen Emily Stark and Elizabeth McDonald all participated in the 3000-meter run. Marvin barely missed placing in the event, finishing in 9th place with a new season best time of 9:45.23. Demaree also met with success, earning a new personal best with a time of 9:55.54. She has been improving steadily this season, consistently setting new best times by almost one second at each meet, and outperforming her freshman year best by over seven seconds. Stark and McDonald—both members of the class of 2016—seized their first opportunities to compete at ECACs. Stark finished in 10:01.04, while McDonald followed with a time of 10:03.1. As this is only their first year of competition, the two will have ample time to hit their peaks in the next three years Sun, 03 Mar 2013 05:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-track/2012-13/releases/20130303smr0np 2013-03-03T05:00:00Z
