The Red Storm will compete in split action for the first time this outdoor season
QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's track & field team will compete in split action this weekend for the first time in the outdoor season. The Johnnies will kick off this weekend's slate at the Monmouth Spring Opener on Friday in West Long Branch, N.J. On Saturday, the Red Storm will host its annual home meet, The Big Hurt, at DaSilva Memorial Field.
Both the Monmouth Spring Opener and The Big Hurt will kick off at 11 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Prior to The Big Hurt on Saturday, the track & field program will be hosting a meet and great breakfast for alumni and parents in the Janetschek Athletic Center Team Room at 9:30 a.m.
St. John's will compete in Monmouth's outdoor home meet for the first time in over two decades. The Red Storm's throws squad will take the trek to The Garden State on Friday after a competitive showing at the USF Alumni Invitational on March 15-16.
Jamora Alves kicked off her outdoor season with a fifth-place result in the discus after producing a BIG EAST leading 50.24-meter heave. Maja Henry put up a 41.62-meter throw in her discus collegiate debut while Juliet Smith tallied a personal-best 13.12-meter launch in the shot put.
The Johnnies will host a slew of schools for their annual home meet in Queens, N.Y. Last season, St. John's posted seven event wins in the long jump, the 2,000-meter steeplechase, the 800-meter run, the 400-meter hurdles, the shot put, the 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay.
In the squad's first outdoor meet of the season, Claire Cushing and Gabriella Caronia put on a show in the 5,000-meter run and the 2,000-meter steeplechase, respectively. Cushing rang up a 17.27.43 mark, the second-best time in the conference, for second place. Caronia earned a career-best 7.17.04 finishing time for seventh place overall.
Leading the way in the middle distance is Nora Haugen after she posted an eighth-place result in the 800-meter with a 2:08.82 effort at the USF Alumni Invitational. Haugen's mark from two weeks ago is the fourth best in the BIG EAST.
Delicia Bent, Brooklyn Chestnut and Cassandra Lemus-Sodji all posted identical 11.92-second marks in the 100-meter dash in the squad's opening outdoor meet. Lemus-Sodi's finishing time was a personal record. Tea Siehou followed right behind the trio with a career-best effort of 11.95 seconds in the event.
Following this weekend's slate of action, the Johnnies will split up once again between the Outdoor Metropolitan Championships at Icahn Stadium and the Miami Alumni Invitational in Coral Gables, Fla., from April 5-6.
