TicketsKNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Three individuals and one relay team added their names to the program's all-time Top 10 list as the third and final day of competition at the Tennessee Relays for the University of Cincinnati track and field program at the 51st installment of the meet conducted at Tom Black Track in Knoxville, Tenn. All three individual Top 10 marks came in the field while the women's distance medley relay also added to the record book with its run.
// CATHERINE CLIMBING HIGHER
For the second week in a row, Brooke Catherine cleared a personal-best height in pole vault, this time climbing over the bar at 4.20m (13-09.25) to finish in a tie for fifth place in the invitational section of the event. After clearing a best of 4.05m last week in Arizona, Catherine opened her competition by easily clearing 3.90m before climbing over 4.05m on her first attempt at tying her outdoor career best. With the bar raised to 4.20m, she cleared on her second attempt before taking a crack at 4.30m (14-01.25), but was unsuccessful at adding to her big day. With her 4.20m clearance, she now ranks #3 all-time in UC history and becomes just the second UC woman to clear 4.20m or better both indoors and outdoors in a career, joining Mackenzie Fields, who cleared 4.25m indoors and 4.35m outdoors.
// TWO BOUNCE IN
The women's triple jump saw two Bearcats enter the field with both posting marks to rank themselves among the Top 10 all-time in program history as Irati Mitxelena and Kennedy Marable posted the #2 and #6 (tie) jumps in Bearcats history. Mitxelena placed seventh overall in the competition as she bounced her way to a best of 12.79m (41-11.50) to improve her outdoor PR by 1' 3.75" and better her #2 mark in program history. With her mark, she joins Rebecka Abrahamsson (2016) as the only two UC women to record marks of 41' or better in both the indoor and outdoor triple jump events.
Joining Mitxelena in the Top 10 was true freshman Marable, who finished with a best of 11.55m (37-10.75) to move onto the all-time Top 10 chart for the first time in her career as she is now tied for sixth overall. Marable, who improved her career best by nearly one foot (11.25"), is now tied with Anastasia Tarpeh (2010) on the Top 10 ledger.
// GOING THE DISTANCE (RELAY)
The final Top 10 mark recorded on the day came in the distance medley relay as the team of Meg Westerheide, Grace Winckowski, Alexis Anton and Madison Dunlap combined to run 12:11.23 for the #4 spot all-time in Bearcats history. Westerheide led off with a 3:43 split on the 1,200m leg before Winckowski split 59.5 on the 400m leg. Anton then carried the baton for the 800m leg in 2:15 before Dunlap closed out the relay with the 1,600m leg in 5:12.
// MIAMI RECAP
Several members of the program also competed at the Miami Duals meet in Oxford over the weekend. Overall, the group recorded 12 personal bests with four coming from the women and eight from the men. On the men's side, Chris Province had a strong day in the field as he recorded PRs in both the javelin and the hammer. He threw the spear out to 52.69m (172-10) after throwing the hammer to 49.80m (163-04). Cannon Riddle also posted a PR clearance of 1.95m (6-04.75) in the high jump to win the competition.
