2004
Emory University finished the 2004 indoor
track season with seven athletes earning all-conference honors and
a school record in the distance medley relay.
Emory finished fourth at the University
Athletic Association indoor championships. Seven Emory athletes
earned all-conference honors by finishing in the top three in their
events.
Junior Emily Watts won the 55-meter dash.
It was the seventh time in the UAA's 17-year history that an Eagle
won the event.
Junior Dorothy Boone finished third in
both the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs. She becomes the fourth Eagle
ever to attain all-conference honors in both events in the same
year.
Other all-conference performers were Katie
Anding, third in the pole vault; Amy DiBianca, third in the 1,500m
run; Rebecca Ely, third in the 55m hurdles; Jane Ukandu, third in
55m dash; and Ashley DeMarco, third in the high jump.
Emory runners set a school record in the
distance-medley relay at the Clemson Invitational competing against
athletes from NCAA Division I universities.
The team of Meghan Callier, Angela Davie,
Amy DiBianca, and Julia Morton won the distance medley with a time
of 12 minutes and 29.80 seconds, setting a school record in the
event. The mark beat the previous school record of 12:35.14, which
was set earlier in the season at the Christopher Newport Invitational.
The record time was the fastest time in the South region for the
season, according to Southregionrunning.com. It was 10 seconds away
from provisionally qualifying for the NCAA indoor championships.
