KINGSTON, R.I. – After the first day of the 2015 Atlantic 10 Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships, Davidson sits in eighth place, thanks to strong distance performances – including three schools records in the 5,000 meters, 1,000 meters and distance medley relay.
"We had a great first day," said Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Jen Straub. "I'm proud of the girls tonight and I am excited to see what we can do tomorrow."
Erin Osment raced to a podium in the 5,000-meter. The senior crossed in 16:48.88 to take third. Osment shattered the previous Davidson program record by 23 seconds. Ali Cobb posted a 15th place finish with a personal best of 18:10.44.
Although Davidson didn't advance to the finals in the 1,000-meter event, Sierra Ponthier set a new school mark in the event. The freshman clocked a 3:00.5 to take 10th place overall. Ashlyn Gruber was on the heels of Ponthiers racing to an 11th place finish with a time of 3:00.93.
In the competitive distance medley relay, Davidson raced to a third-place finish, a mere 0.46 seconds out of second-place La Salle. The Wildcats foursome of Brigid Behrens, Sarah Paddon, Hannah Rieden and Sarah Sears crossed in 11:51.94, to crush the previous program record of 12:15.69.
In the pole vault, senior Molly Marshall placed in a three tie for 10th, while freshman Stephanie Hautamma finished in 14th. Marshall registered a jump of 10-10 and Hautamma record a 10-4.
Davidson sits in eighth place with 12 total team points. The Wildcats trail Richmond (18), Duquesne (20), Saint Louis (20.5), Dayton (26), George Mason (31), Rhode Island (34.5) and Massachusetts (37).
The Wildcats return for the final day of competition tomorrow at 11 a.m.
