The track and field teams travelled across the river to compete in the Danny Curran Invitational hosted by Widener University this past weekend.  The teams are currently ranked #1 (women) and #2 (men) in the latest USTFCCCA National poll and are continuing to improve upon many of their performances each week.  The Danny Curran Invitational is typically one of the largest competitions of the season for the Roadrunners.  The level of competition and the weather cooperated to help the RCSJ Roadrunners return home with 11 NJCAA National Championship qualifiers.

 

In such a large competitive meet, any top 10 performances are impressive.  Top 10 finishers for the Roadrunners were:

The women's 4x100m team of Precious Barclift, Dreana Algarin, Sabrina Baer, and Hailey Hartwyk placed 5th

The men's 4x100m team of Giorgio Bruno, James Coleman, Jayden Sanchez, and Elijah Reese placed 6th

Mariella Farrell placed 6^th in the discus

Marques Hall placed 6^th in the hammer and 9^th in the discus

Kara Knorr placed 9^th in the discus

Mike Taylor placed 9^th in the hammer

The men's 4x400m team of Elijah Reese, Giorgio Bruno, James Coleman, and Jayden Sanchez placed 9th

The women's 4x400m team of Ashton Wiseley, Precious Barclift, Sabrina Baer, and Hailey Hartwyk placed 9^th as well.

 

Some RCSJ Track and Field Alumni also fared well at the meet with a few top finishes:
