Track & Field Competes at Panther Tune-Up Saturday

Marquette University track & field competed at the Panther Tune-Up on Saturday, the final meet of the regular season for the Golden Eagles.

“The Panther Tune-Up was an excellent tune up for us for BIG EAST,” Bert Rogers said. “We had a number of people set new personal best marks led by John Pitta‘s #9 all-time mark in the Triple Jump and Sophie Herriot‘s #9 all-time mark in the Pole Vault. It was a good day overall and we are ready for Big East next week.”

Sophie Herriot finished first in the pole vault and set a new PR clearing 3.65m, good for the ninth-best mark in program history. Will Waterstradt finished first and tied his PR that is eighth all-time in the 60h at 8.36 seconds.

The Golden Eagles went 1-2 in the women’s mile run with Emily Capper (5:12.02) and Gianna Konen (5:16.41). Capper won the 3000m meter at 10:42.43 for a new PR.
