Lexington, Va. – The University of Richmond women's track and field program will send four Spiders to compete at the VMI Challenge on Saturday.
Last week at the Virginia Tech Invitational, Alicia Dawson led the Spiders with strong performances in the long jump (5th place – 5.86m – personal best) and the triple jump (3rd place – 12.47m). Both marks landed her spots in the Richmond history books as her triple jump was the 2nd longest in program history and her long jump tied for 4th in program history. Dylan Miller claimed the 1st place victory in the 800m with an impressive finish of 2:18.35. The sophomore held off the junior/senior group from Army West Point, taking the big win over three other competitors. The 5K proved successful for Richmond as they took the top three spots in the event. Madison Trippett led the group with the 1st place finish at 16:57.78. Elizabeth Stockman (2nd place – 17:35.94) and Laurel Kurtz (3rdplace – 17:54.79) claimed the next two spots.
