The Roanoke College indoor track & field team hosted the Bast-Cregger Invitational in the campus fieldhouse last weekend and had some excellent performances against some strong competition. The men’s team had three event winners and four second places and the women had five first-place finishes and recorded a slew of personal-bests as the team celebrated their senior class.
In the men’s meet Amari Carter won the 200m with a time of 22.51 seconds. Lorenzo Camobreco and Max Cardwell claimed the top two spots in the 400m, crossing the tape in 49.44 and 49.71 seconds. Cardwell’s PR time allowed him to join Camobreco in the school’s all-time Top 10.
The Maroons secured a victory in the 4×400 relay, with Cardwell, Brandon Heffinger, Camobreco and Salem High grad Bryson Hill logging a mark of 3:25.58. Mitchell Taylor, a freshman from Salem High, was the runner-up in the 60m hurdles, finishing in 8.41 seconds.
For the women, Lindsey Hobin took first place in both the 200m and the 400m. She set a personal record in the 400, clocking in at 58.72 seconds, and logged a time of 25.61 seconds to win the 200 meter race. The 4×400 relay team of Mae Kaufman, Ophelia Ladner, Maryrose Molina-Shuman and Hobin was victorious with a time of 4:01.53.
Ladner and Rebecca Carr produced a 1-2 finish in the 60m hurdles. Ladner registered a PR time of 9.20 seconds to win the event, while Carr came in at 9.36. Nolanda Henderson won the 60m with a season-best time of 7.89 seconds.
The Maroons next travel to the JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem, N.C. for the Camel City competition this weekend.
