STARTING BLOCK
The North Florida Track & Field women's team opened the outdoor portion of their 2018 ledger with several strong performances on Friday in the Sheraton Spring Break Invitational at Hodges Stadium.
 Â
AROUND THE TRACK
- Senior Claudia Jalon got things started early running a 4:28 to claim the top spot in her heat and clocking the fourth fastest time overall in the 1500m
- Senior Hallie Grimes notched a PR in the 800m, racing a time of 2:13 en route to finishing third
- Several Osprey freshmen made their outdoor track debuts
Â
ON THE FIELD
- Louisa Washburn posted a PR in the pole vault with a mark of 3.75m (12-03.50)
- Senior Alyssa Young finished fourth after matching the top height of the meet in the high jump with a mark of 1.65m (5-05.00)
THOUGHTS FROM THE TOP (Head Coach Jeff Pigg)
"It was a nice opener. The weather was beautiful and the kids competed very well. As most openers go, we had some good performances and it was a nice sign for things to come. It was a good starting point and now we just need to continue to make progress.
"Claudia (Jalon) ran a tactical opener and was able to close very fast and win her heat. She is off to a very good start. Hallie Grimes ran a nice PR in the 800m, which will yield some fast 400s later this season. She competed very well and is at a great spot as we move forward. Louisa (Washburn) had a PR in another great pole vault performance. She is doing so well. Her competitiveness and consistency are very impressive."
UP NEXT:
North Florida continues the outdoor season at the Florida Relays in Gainesville on Mar. 29-31. Eden and Grace Meyer are scheduled to run the 10,000m at the Raleigh Relays in Raleigh, N.C. on Friday.
