Silfvenius Posts New School Record


The Smith Pioneers had another excellent day on the track and on the field last weekend at the Division III New England Championships. Kirsten Silfvenius led the way with a school record breaking performance in the 100-meter Hurdles. Her 14.82 semifinal performance was also a personal record in the event. Kirsten came back to win the 400-meter Hurdles in 1:01.94, which currently ranks third in the country for that event. Maya Rittmanic placed eighth in the high jump with a 1.58m leap and Amanda Zakoske finished sixth in the heptathlon with 3,951 points. Kirsten, Amanda and Maya’s performances earned them All-Div III New England honors. Meadeshia Mitchell ran a 59.99 pr in the 400-meter dash and Paige Sarlandt threw 10.47m in the shot.

Kirsten will lead the Smithies at the Open New England Championships this upcoming weekend. See you there!
