QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's track & field team will engage in one final tune-up before the BIG EAST Indoor Track & Field Championships at Manhattan's Coach Fred Dwyer Invitational on Friday afternoon. The last regular season meet of the indoor track and field season will be held inside Draddy Gymnasium in Bronx, New York.
The Red Storm enjoyed a successful weekend at the David Hemery Valentine Invitational last Friday in Boston and at the 116th Millrose Games on Sunday in Manhattan.
At Boston University's home invitational, the Johnnies set 11 new season-best marks to go along with four career-best results. St. John's also placed in the top five in the 200-meter dash and the shot put.
Amarachukwu Obi registered a BIG EAST-leading time in the 200-meter dash with a 24.23-second finish. The graduate student's mark was good enough for fourth place overall out of 224 competitors. Brooklyn Chestnut and Chinenye Onuorah each tallied season-best times in the event while Tea Siehou and Ava Mabry-Spencer notched personal-record performances.
Onuorah posted a season-best and team-leading 55.27-second mark in the 400-meter, placing her 14th in the competition. Obi, Dolce McPherson and Maddie Kelso-Heap all rung up career-best times in the event.
Jamora Alves continued to shine in her sophomore season at the Boston University Track and Tennis Center last Friday, producing a heave of 13.59 meters for second place in the shot put.
In the distance events, Nia Holden and Claire Cushing set new season-best performances in the 800-meter and the 3000-meter run, respectively. Holden sprinted her race in 2:13.31 while Cushing paced the 3000 meters in 9:56.43.
The Johnnies returned to the 116th Millrose Games following a three-year hiatus, taking first place in the college 4x400-meter relay. The Red Storm's relay squad of McPherson, Obi, Nora Haugen and Onuorah paced the race at the world's longest-running indoor track and field competition in 3:45.72.
St. John's time beat out second place Fordham by 2.68 seconds. The Johnnies "A" relay squad also improved on their previous best time of 3:47.32 in the 4x400-meter relay from the Villanova Invitational by 1.60 seconds.
