Team Celebrates Weekend Performances in Style

Sassy! Smith T&F pays homage to a certain, unnamed rival team from this past weekend's invitational.

Suffice it to say, the Smith T&F team gave a friendly fashion shout-out during Monday's practice to a certain, unnamed team from this past weekend's Beynon Invitational.  The otherwise quiet meet ended with a bit of unexpected flare as one team's 4x400 relay sported, uh, something resembling old-school speed suits. Yet those speed suits were no match for Smith's first place 4x400 team of Kayla Clark, Kirsten Silfvenius, Fiona Jones, and Maya Rittmanic.

As a team, Smith placed second behind Amherst and ahead of Mount Holyoke and Wellesley.  Smith had competitors in almost every event, including Cameah's strong solo performance in the 500m race.  Here are the winners of the Track, Field, and Teammate of the Meet Awards:

Track Athlete of the Meet: Kylee Drugan-Eppich'14, for her unrelenting performance in the 3k.  She chopped 30 seconds off of her previous 3k PR!

Field Athlete of the Meet: Maya Rittmanic '14 for her ECAC-qualifying high jump of 1.58m.  (She also deserves a shout out for her appearance in the 60m hurdles!)

Teammate of the Meet: Kayla Clark '14 for regularly checking in with teammates throughout the meet.
