LAST TIME OUT
Last weekend the Flyers made history by hosting their first-ever home track and field meet. Five seniors were recognized for their contributions to the program. UD athletes showed up on the track as well, recording multiple trips to the podium and personal bests. Jadyn Haywood turned in yet another A-10 co-performer of the week outing, winning the 60m dash in a personal best time of 7.47. She then took home a second victory in the 200m, running 24.57, which is the third fastest time in program history. Both marks are best in the A-10. Jailee Clemmons had herself a good day in the sand pits as she recorded the second-best indoor long jump mark in program history of 5.72m to finish third. She would then go on to win the triple jump with a personal best mark of 11.49m. UD athletes turned in 13 top-three performances on the day, including Anna Kessler getting third in both the 60m and the 200m, Charlotte Deines earning a runner-up spot in the 200m, Bryn Hothem coming third in the mile, the 4x4 team also finishing third, Anna Yater and Jillian Yates taking the second and third spots in the weight throw, and Camryn Thompson earning a third-place finish in the high jump. 21 Flyers earned a PR on the day.
