Rockets will send sprinters and jumpers to compete in Findlay Alumni Classic
TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women' track & field team will head down I-75 this weekend and spend two days at Findlay's Alumni Classic on Friday-Saturday, Jan. 20-21 at the Malcolm Athletic Center. Friday's competition is set for 3:00 p.m. and Saturday's schedule will begin at 11:00 a.m.
Toledo had back-to-back successful weekends at the University of Michigan in its first two weeks of competition. Last weekend, the Rockets recorded 10 personal-bests in a field of top Division I programs like Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Michigan State and Notre Dame.
In field events, junior Amara Okpalaoka earned the lone Rocket victory. She jumped an impressive 11.78m in the triple jump to surpass her previous PR by 0.49m for the win. Sophomore Sydney Caddell also surpassed her previous record in the triple jump, finishing runner-up with a mark of 9.98m.
On the track, the distance runners had a good turnout in their first meet of the indoor season. Junior Lou Trois was named Mid-American Conference Women's Track Athlete of the Week following her runner-up finish in the mile. Her time of 4:46.91 is the top time in the MAC this season and fifth in the country. Trois also took fourth in the 800m with a time of 2:12.55 (3rd MAC/ 9th NCAA).
Ten additional Rockets took to the track for the first time this season, including senior Madeline Vining, who recorded a PR 4:47.58 for a fifth-place finish in the mile. Both senior Alexia Moehling and sophomore Mayson Bates surpassed their previous personal records in the prelims of the 60 hurdles and finished fourth and seventh, respectively, in the finals.
