Big Day for Women's T&F

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – Jill Rotman moved into second on the Centennial Conference performance list in the 400-meter dash to headline a host of standout efforts for the Ursinus College women's track and field team as the Bears hosted the annual Collegeville Classic on Saturday.

Rotman made her debut in the 400 a memorable one, checking in at an even 1:03.00 to grab fourth place and move all the way up to the runner-up spot in the conference. She trails a sprinter from Bryn Mawr by about a quarter-second for pole position.

Isabelle Deal also seized second place in the conference with a personal-best 39-8.75 in the shot put.

Dominique Timmons showed off her potential with a time of 8.18 seconds in the 60-meter dash, fast enough to finish second in the event and good for fourth in the CC. Kate Hunt was eighth overall at 8.32.

Melanie DeRosa impressed in her long jump debut, recording a 14-7.75 to finish third overall.

Gianna Speranza and Julia Rakovska each tallied a 4-7.75 to tie for second in the high jump.

Rachel Conhoff notched a massive PR in the mile, where she was fourth at 5:29.39. Holly Chambers (5:46.70) and Katherine Moore (5:58.04) also went under the 6-minute barrier.

Lauren Ferguson also marked a sizeable personal record with a 12:02.53 to place eighth in the 3,000 meters.

Timmons, Mer'c Van Ness, Neve Durrwachter, and Rotman combined to take second in the 4x400-meter relay, while Moore, Catherine Curran, Alyson Manley, and Chambers were third in the distance medley (14:10.69) with Jenna Lozzi, Rosie Cuomo, Ferguson, and Conhoff right on their heels in fourth (14:13.84).

The Bears continue the indoor season at the Haverford Invitational on January 30.
