The Red Storm will race in Tampa, Fla., for the second time this season
QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's track & field team head back to Tampa, Fla., for the second time this season to compete in the South Florida Invitational on Saturday. USF's home meet will kick-off 10 a.m. with the women's javelin.
The Red Storm is coming off its first Outdoor Metropolitan Championship since it won back-to-back titles across the 2018-19 outdoor seasons. Last week, the Johnnies racked up 179 total points, beating out second-place Fordham by a whopping 30.5 points. St. John's took home eight wins and 21 top-five finishes across 12 events at the annual local championships.
At the conclusion of the event, Chinenye Onuorah was named the Simon Hodnett Outstanding Performer Award recipient. The award is dedicated to the late Simon Hodnett, the long-time head coach of LIU, for his legacy of hard work and dedication to track & field.
The Red Storm took all three of the top spots in the 200-meter dash, as Onuorah notched a gold medal with a personal-record 23.92-second time. Jalen Jackson took second, breezing through the event in a career-best 24.45 seconds, while Nora Haugen posted a time of 24.80 seconds for third.
Leyre Campo de Quevedo picked up her second win of the outdoor season, this time coming in the 10,000-meter run. The freshman paced the event in 36:50.83 for first place.
The Red Storm shines 400-meter dash, as Leilani Robinson led the way with a personal-best mark of 56.44 seconds for first. Nyla Henderson followed behind her with a season-record 56.82-second finish for third.
The program dominated in the 100-meter dash, as Cassandra Lemus-Sodji took home first place on a mark of 12.26 seconds. Ava Mabry-Spencer placed fifth on a time of 12.52 seconds.
Desiree Pagan won the hammer throw, recording a personal-record heave of 48.57 meters for first place. Jamora Alves followed up the Red Storm's superb effort in the hammer throw, by winning the discus with a toss of 42.36 meters. Maja Henry went home with a silver medal in the competition, logging a throw of 39.62 meters.
Following this weekend's meet in Florida, the Red Storm will head to Storrs, Conn., for the UConn Northeast Challenge. The two-day meet will kick off on Friday, April 18 and conclude on Saturday, April 19.
