Track teams break JHU records at Conferences
Needing points to pull away from Dickinson, the 3,000-meter run saw Hopkins runners take first and third place. Hogen won the event in 10:27.97, and Hiza, who was seeded 13th, was able to pull off the third place upset in 10:39.23. Hiza's performance once again qualified her for ECACs.
In the relays, the 4x800 team of Dodd, senior Kelly Gonzalez, freshman Elizabeth Laseter and Harris finished sixth in 10:14.88. The 4x400 team set a new school record, as Mikkilineni, Osborn, Dodd and Ireton ran 4:09.97, finishing in second place overall.
On the men's side, Waddell continued racking up points as he finished fifth in the triple jump with a jump of 12.95 meters, and third place in the high jump with 1.86 meters. Senior co-captain Michael Palantoni jumped his way to seventh place in the high jump with a height of 1.81 meters. Junior Peter Li's throw of 14.36m took second place in the shot put.
Tristan Thomas was able to narrowly hold off Ursinus's Brandon Evans as he won the 55-meter dash in 6.55. His qualifying time the day before of 6.51 was a new school record. Cottrell was able to finish fourth in the event with a time of 6.71. Thomas was also able to finish seventh in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.14.
Freshman Brahma Kumar and Walker were the top Jays in the 400 with times of 53.34 and 53.39, good for sixth and seventh place. Sotuyo placed second in the 800 with a time of 1:57.23, the only Hopkins scorer in the event.
The 4x800 meter team of Mack, sophomore Noah Jampol and freshmen Eliot Wehner and Brandon Hahn earned a fourth-place finish of 8:06.55. The highlight of the meet came when Waddell was named the outstanding field performer of the meet, the first Hopkins athlete ever to receive the award.
The award came well-earned, as Waddell single handedly scored 23 of the men's 108 points. "I was very honored to receive the outstanding field performer award, especially since there were a lot of great competitors in all of the field events," he said.
