BOSTON, Mass. – The Davidson women's track and field competed on the final day of the John Thomas Terrier Classic hosted by Boston University on Saturday. The Wildcats set numerous personal best times highlighted by a new school record from Kierra Marshall and a fifth place finish by Aleia Gisolfi-McCready in the 500-meters.
Kierra Marshall set a new school indoor record in the 200-meters on Saturday. Marshall, a junior from Rockville, MD, ran a time of 24.84 which was good enough for seventh fastest on the day and it was her fastest indoor mark of her career. This time snapped Marshall's previous indoor record of 25.12 which she set last season.
Gisolfi-McReady, a sophomore from Massachusetts, finished inside the top-five in a field of over 20 runners when she set a new personal-best mark in the 500. She finished in a time of 1:16.33 edging her previous best by ten milliseconds.
Teammate Sophia Hood finished just behind her in seventh place and also set a new personal-best. Hood finished with a time of 1:17.90 which was nearly a second faster than her previous best mark.
Another Wildcat to set a new personal record was senior Breila Fuller. Fuller shaved five seconds off her fastest time when she finished the 1,000-meter run in 2:51.57. This was good for 13th in a field of 47 other runners.
In the 400-meters, Rachel Horowitz turned in a top-ten finish in a field of over 90 competitors. Horowitz, a senior, grabbed ninth place with a time of 56.94.
In the 4x400 relay, Rachel Horowitz, Sophia Hood, Kierra Marshall, and Aleia Gisolfi-McCready took second place by combining for a time of 3:49.45.
Also setting new individual records on Saturday was Mary Shoop, Frances Whitworth, and Abigail Nasse. Shoop, a freshman ran a 5:06.13 in the mile to set a new PR. Whitworth, a junior from Winston-Salem, shaved 27 seconds off her previous best time in the 3000-meters with a 9:45.54. This ranks fifth best all-time in Davidson program history. Nasse improved her time in the 3K as well by posting a time of 10:10.32.
Natalie Abernathy ran in the 5K and finished inside the top-30 with a time of 17:30.56.
The women's track and field team will be back in action next weekend at the South Carolina Invitational on February 3 and 4.
