QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's track and field team is set to host the Big Hurt, the first of two outdoor home meets this season, on Saturday. Action from the DaSilva Athletic Complex is set to begin at 11 a.m.
The Red Storm opened its outdoor season at the USF Alumni Invitational in Tampa, Fla., last weekend, recording two event wins and multiple top-10 finishes.
Naiara Garcia-Moreno led the way, winning both the 800-meter and 1,500-meter races, with her 1,500m mark ranking among the top times in program history. Cassandra Lemus-Sodji placed second in the long jump, while Jamora Alves added a top-five finish in the shot put.
On the track, Kettia Ambrose turned in a top-10 performance in the 400 meters, and Fia Viklund placed inside the top eight in the triple jump.
This weekend, a handful of Johnnies will be making their outdoor debut in Queens in both the field and on the oval.
A pair of distance runners will toe the line in the 3,000-meter run, as Cristina Stanescu and Brenin Mahon are slated to represent the Johnnies. Mia Torres is set to compete in the 2,000-meter steeplechase.
Stepping down in distance, a quartet of St. John's student-athletes is scheduled to race in the 800-meter run, led by Attoya Harvey. The junior holds a personal-best time of 2 minutes, 18.5 seconds from the indoor season.
Seven Johnnies are set to load the blocks for the 200-meter dash, led by Nia-Ruby Forbes-Agyepong with a personal best of 25.92 seconds from the Metropolitan Indoor Championships.
Following Saturday's meet, the Red Storm will remain in Queens for the Metropolitan Outdoor Championships at Icahn Stadium on April 3.
