Ephs Have Solid Showing at ECACs
Cambridge, MA -- The Ephs showed
great efforts at ECACS these past two days and performed well
against fierce competition at Harvard University. The Ephs were
entered in events ranging from short sprints to the mile, showing
the depth of the women’s track and field program. Williams
finished 7th overall.
Elysse Johnson (So) placed 10th in the 55m hurdle prelims coming close but not qualifying for finals. Senior captain Carrie Plitt placed 9th in the 400 and ran a strong leg for the first place finishing 4X400 meter relay. Also running strong for the Ephs were Sara Wild (Fr), Emily Heaslip (So), and Veronica Ivey (Sr) who all contributed to the team’s impressive time of 3:54.
In the distance events, senior captain Lyssie Robie placed 2nd with junior Laura Walls placing 4th and freshmen Cecilia Davis Hayes placing 5th. In the 1000 meter run the underclassmen showed their strength with sophomore Olga Kondratjeva placing an extremely close 3rd with a time of 2:57 and freshmen Meghan Shea placing 9th.
The mid distance team showed their strength in the 800 with impressive performances from junior Heather Bemis placing 8th with a 2:19 and a personal best from sophomore Nora Mitchell with a time of 2:18.
The Ephs put their best foot forward at the ECACs but hope to improve on their efforts at Division III Nationals.
