Track & Field Puts Wrap On Stellar Weekend At Notre Dame

Johnson, Haywood, And Carter Continue To Have Exceptional Seasons

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The University of Dayton track and field finished a two-day meet at the Meyo Invitational that included six new marks in the record books and even a new school record. Their continuous positive growth will serve the team well as they prepare for the A-10 Indoor Championships in three weeks.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Freshman Kendall Johnson won the long jump (5.88m) while breaking the school record for the second time this year.
  • It was a third place finish for Abby Carter in the 5000m, who ran a personal best 16:35.31. She recorded the third-fastest time in the event in program history. 
  • Jadyn Haywood ran into the record books by earning the second-fastest 200m dash time in UD history of 24.56 seconds while taking sixth place.
  • Haywood completed the 60m semis in 7.54 seconds while earning a PR and improving her third-best 60m time in school history.
  • In the 60m final, Haywood set another PR and tied the second-best 60m dash in the record books by finishing in fifth place with a 7.50 second finish.
  • Carter placed sixth in the mile run while earning a PR of 4:53.61. She improved her fourth-best mile time in school history, which she just set last week.
  • Lauren Santiago improved her fifth-best 400m dash time in UD's record books by earning a PR of 57.05 seconds.

COACH'S QUOTE

What does the team's consistent positive growth mean as you near the A-10 Championships?

"This weekend was a proving ground to see if we could not only stay consistent, but perform at a higher level when it is called for," said Associate Head Coach Aaron Gordon. "We are in a great position heading into the A-10 Championships, and I am looking forward to the next few weeks heading into them."
