Track's Elite Prepare for IC4As, ECACs

Recent Gyorffy jump is second-best in the world

Ronner’s outdoor performance peaked at 12.46 meters at Heps. She would have to improve significantly to qualify for the NCAAs and win an ECAC title. Gyorffy, who jumped 13.05 meters, is also ranked 17th in the nation in the triple jump, although she will not be competing in the event.

McLean-Foreman posted a personal-best time of 1:49.84 in the 800-meter run at the Princeton Invitational last weekend. He won the event at Indoor Heps in February. If he can improve on his performance from last weekend, he could take home the ECAC title. He would have to improve by well over a second to make NCAAs.

Sophomore Amanda Shanklin, who placed fourth in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles at Heps two weekends ago, has the potential to win the race between everyone who will be left in the dust by Taylor this weekend, and give the Crimson a one-two finish in the event.

In addition to Clever, two other throwers will be making the trip to Princeton. Co-captain John Kraay will look to close out his career in the shot put and the discus at his best. He placed second and third, respectively, at the two events at Heps.

On the women’s side, promising freshman Alex Petrone will compete in the javelin. She was been improving steadily all season, peaking with a throw of 40.58 meters at the April 28 Boston College dual meet. She placed fifth at Heps and could potentially finish in the top five this weekend.
