Women’s Track & Field: Scots Take Third at Meet of Hearts

| By:
NORTHFIELD, Minn. – The Macalester College women's track & field team took third place at the Meet of Hearts on Saturday with a team score of 124.2. Teams competing included first-place St. Benedict, second-place Gustavus Adolphus, Martin Luther, hosts Carleton, Minnesota-Morris, St. Catherine (Minn.) and Bethany Lutheran. Three Scots won their events at the meet, including two from first year Kate Fox (Seattle, Wash./ Roosevelt), and eight Scots put themselves in the top-10 in Macalester history with their performances.

Fox's two victories came in the 800 meters and the mile, with times of 2:25.30 and 5:18.45, respectively. She now holds the seventh-best mile time in school history. Sophomore Jessica Lin (Bedford, Mass./ Bedford) was a standout performer with her win in the weight throw, recording a distance of 13.70 meters (44-11.50). That mark puts her second in school history. Junior Hadley Wilkins (St. Louis, Mo./ Whitfield School) took first in the 600 meters in 1:44.49.

First year Ariella Rogahn-Press (Albuquerque, N.M./Bosque School), fresh off being named MIAC Women's Track Athlete of the Week on Tuesday, continued her strong season with a time of 7.34 in the 55-meter dash, the fourth-best mark in school history, to take second. Rogahn-Press also placed second in the 200 meters in 25.68. Strong performances from Macalester first years continued with a second-place finish in the long jump from Claire Beckley (Carlisle, Mass./ Concord Carlisle), jumping 5.03 meters (16-6), the seventh-best distance in Macalester history. Rogahn-Press and Beckley were also part of a 4x200-meter relay team that finished second, joined by Tessa Myatt (Chicago, Ill./ Northside College Prep) and Emma Cunningham (Knoxville, Tenn./ Farragut). Their time of 1:48.07 is the seventh best in school history.

The Scots will travel to Mankato, Minn. next weekend to compete in the Maverick Premier meet on Friday and Saturday.
