MEET RESULTS

KINGSTON, R.I. — One of two, top-five finishers in the event, Emily Young took home the 800m title, clocking in at 2:18.46. It was one of two top three finishes for the senior and one of 15 inside the top five for her Bobcats squad.

Alyssa Romagnoli clocked in with the fourth-best time at 2:20.51 in that event.

Rylie Smith also continued her impressive sophomore campaign. After a pair of personal bests last week, she ran a 1:17.48 in the 500m, good for third in the event and seventh on the program's all-time Top 10 list. She also was the second leg of the Bobcats' 4x400 that finished second.

The Bobcats' distance runners had a very strong day, taking 2-3 in both the mile and the 3k. Alessandra Zaffina (5:04.31) and Rachel St. Germain (5:06.22) took those spots in the mile, while Corinne Barney (10:17.33) and Grace Michaud (10:24.47) placed second and third in the 3k.

NOTES

Smith's time ties her for the seventh-fastest time in program history. Brooke Hagen clocked in at 1:17.48 in the 500m at Boston University on Jan. 24, 2020.
Sydney Lavelle recorded a Top 3 finish in both a track and field event. She was part of the 4x400 relay team that finished second and her 5.38m long jump ranked her third.
Nyasia Dailey ran her fastest 60m of the year, going sub-eight seconds for the first time at 7.99.
Michelle Tota finished fifth in the 200m (26.69).

The Bobcats will head to the John Thomas Terrier Classic on Saturday, January 28 at Boston University.
