Track & Field Wraps Up Regular Season at ECAC/IC4A Championships

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Championship season continued for the Saint Peter's University track and field teams this weekend as the Peacocks competed in the three-day ECAC/IC4A Outdoor Track and Field Championships at American International College.

Several Peacocks competed as individuals while others joined forces in relay events. In the end, several student-athletes came away with exceptional efforts against a deep, competitive field in the final competition before qualifiers are announced for the 2021 NCAA Championships this coming week.

Top Performances: Men

Sophomore Jabari Higgs-Salaam was runner-up in the long jump this weekend with a distance of 7.27 meters. The mark is his second-best performance in the event during his collegiate career.
Sophomore Jarrett Gentles took a top-10 placement in the 400 hurdles with a time of 55.40 seconds.
The quartet of freshman Delano Gooden and Javon Jenkins, redshirt sophomore Rayshawn Johnson and graduate student Brandon Campbell competed in the 4x100 relay and clocked in at 42.75 seconds.
Johnson also took part in the 110-hurdle preliminaries and came across the line in 15.47 seconds.

Top Performances: Women

The team of freshmen Jewel Dale, Abigail Vital, Alexus Smith and redshirt sophomore Lorretta Owoh, set the season-record for the Peacocks in the 4x100-meter relay at 48.90 seconds. The mark puts Saint Peter's in a tie for third in the conference for the 2021 outdoor campaign.
Dale, Vital and Smith would also join forces with sophomore Tola Osipitan to set the season-record in the 4x400-meter relay at 4:00.80. This breaks the mark that Saint Peter's had set at the MAAC Championships (4:04.13).
Owoh also took part in the triple jump against a highly talented field and came out with her second-best mark in the event at 11.27 meters.

Up Next
After a tremendous past two months since the outdoor circuit began in late March, the Peacocks will now await to see if any student-athletes have qualified for the 2021 NCAA East Regional Championships when the official field is revealed this coming week.
