The women's team was split up last weekend between two different meets. The women's 4X400 meter relay and a few others went off to Duke to try to get qualifying times, and everyone else (field events and some sprints) went to Sewanee to perform to their best.

The trip to Sewanee was off bright and early on Saturday. The vans left beginning at 6:30 AM, and the meet began at 9 AM. It was still a bit chilly for the first events but that didn't seem to slow down those competing in those events.

Ashley Demarco jumped 5'2" in the high jump after recovering from an ankle injury in the last few weeks. There were other preformances at Sewanee that were very encouraging for UAAs (which is only a few weeks away).

Esther Choi had an amazing day at the long jump finishing second. Katie Anding won the pole vault at Sewanee, improving crucial inches that we will need for UAAs. It was also a lot of fun to watch Angela Davie and Andrea Cover run their hardest in the afternoon at the meet.

Sewanee is also a good meet to try new events. I was able to run on the sprint medley relay, which was a first for me. I have always just competed in field events, but running was something that I had wanted to try before I graduate.

The performances on the women's side from Duke were improvements on past weeks. I look forward to UAAs in the next few weeks to do the best that I can personally, and watch the team improve from the fourth place at the conference indoor championships.
