Dec. 1, 2015 Complete Results ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Navy women’s track and field open the 2015-16 season with a first-place finish at the Navy Lid Lifter on Tuesday at the Wesley A. Brown Field House. Navy tallied 11 top-3 finishes on the night.
“We had a good meet to begin the season, especially being able to compete against other athletes besides ourselves,” Navy head coach Carla Criste said. “There are still a few areas on the team that we are hoping get stronger and healthier in these next couple weeks before we really get into our indoor schedule.”
Coming off a strong cross country year, senior Morgan O’Connor (Sammamish, Wash.) set a good pace to the meet for Navy, finishing first in the 5,000-meter run with a mark of 17:46.35. Cross Country teammates Michelle Nelson (Severna Park, Md.) and Gabrielle Perrin (Vicksburg, Mich.) finished up right behind O’Connor, clocking in at 18:05.95 and 18:23.87, respectively.
Junior Hali McFadgen (Woodbridge, Va.), a 2014 Second Team All-Patriot League member in the 60-meter hurdles, was .12 seconds off her all-league team, finishing third in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.92. McFadgen also placed third in the long jump with a mark of 17ft-6.25in (5.34m).
Crystan McLymore (Raleigh, N.C.), who has placed in the top two in the triple jump in three of the last five league championship meets, started her senior campaign on the right foot with a first-place performance of 38ft-3.5in (11.67m). Mclymore will also look to score points for her team in the long jump as she placed seventh with a mark of 16ft-10in (5.13m)
Freshman Amanda Agana (Fayetteville, Ark.) and Ali Valenti (Lansdale, Pa.) had good showings in their first collegiate meet. Agana, who ran her first 500-meter run of her career, placed third with time of 1:15.54. Valenti led the Mids and crossed the finish line second overall in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 3:01.12.
Sophomore Audrey Brandon (Lima, Ohio) led Navy in the throwing events, shattering her career-best mark in the weight throw, placing third with a toss of 47-7.25 (14.51m), which is a little under four feet of her previous best (43ft-8in, 13.51m).
Navy will have a month to regroup and prepare before heading to the George Mason Invitational on Jan. 9 in Fairfax, Virginia.
