NEW LONDON, Conn.--The Roger Williams Women's Track and Field team finished 14^th out of 20 teams in the Connecticut College Invitational this weekend.

Madison Fancher (Gloversville, N.Y.) had quite the day for the Hawks competing in many events and earning eighth in the high jump (1.50m), 10^th in the 100 meter hurdles (16.46) in which she also qualified for New England's, and 11^th in the 400 meter hurdles (1:10.36).

RWU's Sarah Mawdsley (Sandy Hook, Conn.) placed fourth in the 3000 steeplechase at 11:38.77 also qualifying for New England's just missing her own school record by two seconds, while Savannah Fox Tree-McGrath (Billerica, Mass.) also earned fourth place in the javelin throw (36.90m).

Olivia Franco (North Haven, Conn.) placed 14^th in the 400 meter hurdles following Fancher at 1:11.14 while Siobhan Mitchell (West Newbury, Mass.) finished 12^th at J1.50m.

In the pole vault, Shirah Strock (Castleton, N.Y.) came in eighth at J2.95m and Tessa Wise (Charlton, Mass.) placed 14^th at J2.65m.  

In the 800 meter run, Mitchell placed 20^th earning a time of 2:23.78 owning her new personal best. In the 10,000 meter run Piper Wilbur (Eliot, Maine) and Amanda Naylor (Glastonbury, Conn.) finished within the top 20 finishing at 43:14.63 and 43:14.82 respectively achieving their personal bests as well.  

Katerina Tsiounis (Bristol, R.I.) jumped 9.70m earning herself a 16^th place finish in the triple jump.

Hawks' Theresa Cerullo (Millis, Mass.) earned a top 20 finish in the discus throw throwing a distance of 30.40m. She also beat her personal record in the hammer throw at 27.75m. Kylie Hofhaug (Millis, Mass.) and Kristen Norray (Berne, N.Y.) beat their personal records in the same event throwing at 29.16m and 30.09m.

Coach Sean Livingston stated, "We faced some stiff competition with many NESCAC schools as well as Franklin Pierce but we held our own. We got a couple more New England qualifiers and several more who are really close. A few key athletes were missing today but we had others who stepped up, specifically Colleen Mooney (Beverly, Mass.) for the Women's 4x400. The teams are up at MIT next week which will be our last meet before the Conference Championships on the 27^th. I'm looking for the seniors and captains to lead the way in our quest to defend the 2018 titles."
