STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.- The St. John's track and field team enjoyed a successful day on Saturday at the Villanova Indoor Meet at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island, N.Y.
For the third consecutive meet, Leah Anderson notched a win over top competition, this time in the 200-meter dash with a time of 24.11. The Mount Vernon, N.Y., native has now tallied victories in the 60-meter, 200-meter, 300-meter and 500-meter races this season.
Jumps specialist Amanda Belgrave captured her first win of the season in the long jump with a leap of 5.54 meters on her fourth attempt. Belgrave also tallied a top-five finish in the triple jump, reaching 11.21 meters on her third attempt.
Skyy Diop continued her strong indoor season with a second-place finish in the 400-meter run and a time 56.01. Brooklyn Chestnut tallied her third-straight top-three finish, crossing the finish line in a tie for second, alongside Cornell's Jada Smith, with a time of 7.73.
In the 4x400-meter relay race, the top team of Anderson, Chestnut, Malia Jones and Zamira Ysaac recorded a fifth-place finish, less than a second behind Monmouth, with a time of 3:57.78. Samantha Morillo also captured fifth with a shot put toss of 13.36 meters.
