STARTING BLOCK
The North Florida Track & Field women's team saw Claudia Jalon win the 3000m in an ASUN record time and the DMR quartet set a new school record en route to claiming the gold medal on the opening day of the ASUN Championship.
Â
AROUND THE TRACK

- The Distance Medley Relay (DMR) team blazed to a school record time of 11:55.27 and won the ASUNÂ Championship. The quartet included: Audrey Carpenter, Syd Steele, Skye Zeller and Claudia Jalon
- Freshman Dakota Hirmer, running in her home state, advanced to the finals of the 60m Hurdles following a PR qualifying sprint of 9.19
Â
ON THE FIELD
- Senior Alyssa Young finished second in the high jump with a mark of 1.65m (5-05.00)
THOUGHTS FROM THE TOP (Head Coach Jeff Pigg)
"The women has a very exciting day. We lined up in the events we do and performed at a very high level. Tomorrow will be another exciting day."
"Claudia ran a very calculated race. She hit her splits perfectly and came home strong setting the ASUN record in the 3000m. Eden gave a very good effort to place third in the 3000m. She raced the 5000m last Friday and I'm sure she was feeling it a bit in her legs, but she ran hard and I'm proud of her effort. Audrey Carpenter led off the DMR with a nice 1200m followed by freshman Syd Steele with a collegiate best 400m leg. Skye Zeller kept the team solidly in third place and gave the baton to Claudia Jalon, who methodically ran her way past the JU runner to capture the win adn break a very strong school record. The girls competed very well and it was thrilling race. Alyssa continued her string of strong jumps and high finishes clearing 1.65m and placing second. The senior once again came to the ASUN Championship ready to deliver. She did not miss until the bar was a 1.70m and that consistency is her trade mark. Dakota had a great day running her best race of the year and qualifying for finals. It was a clutch performance."
