The Roanoke College Track & Field swept the ODAC awards this week with Jennifer Calascione winning field athlete of the week and Quinn Harlan garnering track athlete of the week.
Calascione, a junior from Parker, Colo., threw in two events at the VertKlasse Meeting hosted by High Point University. Calascione finished seventh in the discus in 40.42 meters (132-7.00), which strengthens her hold on top position on the ODAC’s season chart. It also ranks 30th in NCAA Division III. Calascione added a toss of 11.29 meters (37-0.50) in the shot put, which is second only in the ODAC to Virginia Wesleyan Michelle Yates (12.29) and her own previous season-best mark (11.90m)
Harlan, a freshman from Woonsocket, R.I., blistered the track while competing in three events at the VertKlasse Meeting hosted by High Point University. Harlan set a school-record in the 100-meter dash at 11.78 seconds. That time is tops in the ODAC and just 0.15 seconds off the conference record held by Amber Celen from Bridgewater.
Harlan’s time is ranked second in NCAA Division III, just 0.13 seconds off the top time from Tyra Abraham at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. Harlan went on to top the ODAC in the 200-meter dash in a 10th-place time of 25.60 seconds. That ranks 22nd in the country. She also competed in the 4×100-meter relay, helping the Maroons to an ODAC-best time of 49.23 seconds.
Roanoke will be back in action Saturday at the WildCat Invitational, hosted by Randolph College in Lynchburg.
