BOSTON, Mass. – In a tune-up for the outdoor season, the Roger Williams University Women's Track & Field team took part in the 2020 USATF New England Open Indoor Championship this past weekend.
 
Brooke Dutton (Coventry, Conn.) notched a new personal best in the Weight Throw, going for a distance of 10.69 meters and placing eighth. She would also take tenth in the Shot Put with a mark of 7.92 meters.
 
Kristen Norray (Berne, N.Y.) earned a pair of top-ten finishes in the Shot Put and Weight Throw, finishing seventh in the Shot Put (8.87m) and ninth in the Weight Throw (10.09m).
 
Madison Fancher (Gloversville, N.Y.) took eighth in the High Jump (1.48m) while Shirah Strock (Castleton, N.Y.) placed ninth in the Pole Vault (2.90m). Sarah Mawdsley (Sandy Hook, Conn.) also earned 11^th in the 3000 Meter Run in 10:38.77.
 
"It was great for the team to get into this meet and sort of knock some of the rust off," said Head Coach Sean Livingston. "They all competed well against some very good competition. We had a few athletes set personal best and Noah had a great day pole vaulting."
 
"We've got almost another month before our first outdoor meet so we're all confident that if everyone continues to put in the work, good things will happen."
