HAMDEN, Conn. - The Quinnipiac women's indoor track and field team will head to New York City this weekend, where it will compete in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships on Saturday and Sunday at The New Balance Armory Track and Field Center.
Quinnipiac Storylines
- Among the athletes to watch for the Bobcats is senior Jessica Lee, who was named the Most Outstanding Track Athlete at the 2017 MAAC Indoor Track and Field Championships last year.
- A year ago, Lee set a MAAC Championship record with an 8.45 in the 60-meter hurdles in 2017, a time that she has improved on this year with a new personal best of 8.25, the top time in the conference during the winter season.
- Lee also comes in to the 2017 Championships with a personal best in the 60-meter dash of 7.59, which ranks her second behind Monmouth's Domoah Kutu-Akoi (7.55), and a personal best in the 200 meters of 24.25, which is the top time for a MAAC runner this winter by almost a full second (Kutu-Akoi is second with a 25.07).
- Meaghan Scullin is also a contender to qualify for the finals in the 200 meters, as she is seeded eighth with a personal best of 26.07.
- Marlo Wehrer enters the MAAC Championships with the fastest time of any MAAC runner in the 400 meters this winter, when she clocked a 56.75 last weekend at the Boston University Valentine Invitational.
- Quinnipiac has four of the top eight times this winter in the 500 meters, with Christina Barbaro third (1:16.85), Ahmetra Davies fifth (1:17.27), Meghan Curtin seventh (1:18.26) and Alyson Caron eighth (1:18.71).
- Kaleigh Roberts has the second-best time in the MAAC in the one-mile run this winter with a 4:52.65, while Emily Wolff is second in the 5000 (16:49.26).
- In the field events, junior Carly Timpson comes in as the top seed in the high jump with a personal best of 1.74 meters set at the New England Championships. Timpson is also fifth in the weight throw coming into the MAAC Championships.
- Kelsey Coughlin (fifth, pole vault), Leah Pfrommer (eighth, long jump), Britney Del Mundo (seventh, triple jump), and Mackenzie Merkel (eighth, shot put) are also in position to earn points for the Bobcats in the field events.
- Quinnipiac's 4x800 relay team, which has already qualified for the ECAC Championships in March, is the second seed in the MAAC Championships behind Monmouth
