Women’s Track & Field Set for Penn Relays

April 25, 2007

The women’s track & field team will travel to Philadelphia, PA for the 113th Penn Relays. Clemson’s action will get underway Thursday morning with the high jump, pole vault, and hammer throw scheduled for 10:00 AM at Franklin Field.

Beth Jordan, both of whom scored in the pole vault last weekend, will compete for Clemson. Della Clark and Rochelle Kokayko are slated for the “championship” hammer throw.

Also on Thursday, Clemson will compete in the 4x100m relay, long jump, and javelin. The 4x100m relay team of Polly Hardy, Michaylin Golladay, Krystal Barringer, and Kristine Scott will compete in prelims beginning at 1:00 PM. Liane Weber, an All-ACC heptathlete, will throw the javelin at 3:15. At 4:00, Patricia Mamona and Nakeisha Wineglass are scheduled for the long jump.

Friday will feature Mamona and Wineglass in the triple jump, in different sections. Mamona’s “championship” competition is set for 10:00 AM. Clemson will also field a team in the 4x200m relay at 2:00 and shuttle hurdle relay at 3:00. Hardy is slated for the 100m hurdle prelims at 3:30 Friday as well. Should she advance to the finals, they will be held Saturday at 3:50 PM.

Clemson has a total of eight regional qualifiers so far this season, as well as a provisional NCAA qualifier in the heptathlon (Weber). The Lady Tigers had four All-ACC honorees at last weekend’s conference meet in College Park, MD.
