Senior Alyssa Lambert turned in an NCAA Championships provisional qualifying time in the 1500 meters on Friday at the Larry Ellis Invitational, hosted by Princeton. Meanwhile, on Saturday, the rest of the Franklin Pierce University track & field team was in action at the George Davis Invitational, hosted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
At Princeton on Friday, Lambert turned in a 1500-meter time of 4:30.36, which was good enough for 16th at the Larry Ellis Invitational. It is also the fastest time run thus far this spring by a Northeast-10 student-athlete and meets the NCAA Championships provisional qualifying standard in the event.
In Lowell on Saturday, the Ravens did most of their damage in field events.
Senior Vinny Biunno posted top-five finishes in the 110-meter hurdles, the pole vault and the long jump.
Sophomore Emily Quinn finished ninth in the hammer throw, but her mark of 44.44 meters is currently good for fourth in the Northeast-10. Senior Nadine Hyde was sixth in the discus, with a throw of 36.86 meters, which currently ranks fifth in the league.
Junior Cory Cataldo posted times which rank in the top 10 in the Northeast-10 in a pair of hurdles events on Saturday. He finished sixth at Lowell in the 400-meter hurdles, with a time of 56.95 seconds, which ranks seventh in the NE-10. Cataldo was also seventh in the 110-meter hurdles, running a time of 15.57 seconds, which is good for fifth in the Conference.
Next week, the Ravens will send select athletes to the prestigious Penn Relays, before returning the full squad to action on May 1 at the Capital District Classic, hosted by RPI.
