The senior set a personal best and recorded the third best time in program history in the 600-meter run
QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's track and field team sent a small squad of student-athletes to the Seahawk Shootout on Friday. Friday's competition marked the second trip to Ocean Breeze in the last seven days for the Red Storm.
Leilani Robinson shined for the Red Storm, winning the 600-meter run with a time of 1:33.48, good enough for a lifetime best and a top-three time in program history. This is second consecutive weekend that a Johnnie won the 600m at Ocean Breeze.
Karese Clisheva Kezia Lloyd recorded her first top-five finish of the indoor season, equalizing her lifetime best of 7.70 in the 60-meter dash.
On the distance side, Attoya Harvey completed the mile run in a personal best time of 5:16.30. The time was good enough for an eighth place finish, as she raced in the fastest heat of the day.
Brenin Mahon and Cristina Stanescu completed the 3,000 meters finishing in 11:22.12 and 11:33:77 respectively, both of which are season bests.
In the field, Desiree Pagan secured her first top-10 finish of the season in the weight throw, placing seventh. Her second round toss of 14.97-meters (49-feet 1-inch) is a season's best.
St. John's will break for the holidays and return to competition in late January. Director of Track and Field Aliann Pompey and her squad are set to race at the Dr. Sander Scorcher on January 23-24, 2026, at The Nike Track and Field Center at The Armory.
