Mids Head to ECAC Championship This Weekend
March 6, 2008
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Navy women's track & field team will head up to the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center in Boston for the ECAC Championship this Saturday and Sunday. The Midshipmen sent four of their own to the George Mason Last Chance Meet last weekend, prior to which they finished third at the Patriot League Championship on Feb. 22-24. Navy's Jacqui Charnigo (Sr./Medina, Ohio), who earned All-East honors in the pole vault during the 2007 outdoor season, could lead the way for the Midshipmen. Last weekend, she broke her own school record in the event with a NCAA provisional-qualifying height of 4.07 meters. That mark currently ranks as the 20th-best height in the country. Middle distance runner Vicki Moore (Sr./Burke, Va.) will take part in two events this weekend. She qualified for the ECAC Championship with a time of 2:56.4 against Army and won the event at the league championship. Burke will join Maureen Dooley (Jr./Durham, Conn.), Abby Gesecki (So./Nanticoke, Pa.) and Allie Moreland (Jr./Ocean City, N.J.) in the 4x800-meter relay that placed second at the league championship with a qualifying time of 9:10.00. The Midshipmen will also have two runners competing in the 5,000-meter run after their performances at the Patriot League Championship. Erica Ziel (So./Saginaw, Mich.) won the race with a time of 17:31.80, followed by teammate Amy Watson's (So./Hampstead, Md.) second-place 17:32.50 clocking. Those who qualify for the NCAA Championship will compete at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Ark., next Friday and Saturday (March 14-15). |
