QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's track & field team will engage in one final tune-up before the BIG EAST Outdoor Championships when it returns home for the Tom Farrell Classic on Saturday. The Red Storm's final home meet of the season will kick off at noon at DaSilva Memorial Field in Queens, N.Y.
Before the meet, the St. John's track and field program will honor its 11 graduating seniors and graduate students for their contributions on and off the track in a Senior Day Ceremony at 11:45 a.m.
At last year's Tom Farrell Classic, the program dominated its way to nine wins and 27 top-three finishes across 17 different events. Nine athletes also tallied personal-best finishes in 10 events.
Last week, the Johnnies competed against the nation's best at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The relay squad of Brooklyn Chestnut, Amarachukwu Obi, Chinenye Onuorah and Nora Haugen broke the previous sprint medley relay program record of 3:56.32 from the 2016 Penn Relays with a 3:49.46 mark. The group finished in first place in their heat and ninth overall.
Jamora Alves came in ninth place in the discus at the nation's longest-running outdoor track and field competition. The Grenada product registered a toss of 47.09 meters in the event.
Claire Cushing added an outdoor season-best pace to the Johnnies effort last weekend. The graduate student breezed through the 5,000-meter championship in 17.21.06.
Onuorah, Nia Holden, Obi and Haugen also provided a season-best finishing time of 3:43.19 in the 4x400-meter relay. The relay team's pace was good enough for 13th place.
Following this weekend's meet in Queens, N.Y., the Red Storm will travel to Villanova, Pa., for the BIG EAST Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The three-day competition will kick off on Thursday, May 9 at 11 a.m.
