Track Team Revs Up by Julie Johnson The Oberlin women’s indoor track team finished second at the Case Western Reserve University Invitational last Friday. Junior long-distance runner Laura Feeney set the team up for a great 2002 season. In her stellar performance in the arduous 3000m run on Friday, Feeney won the event with a fabulous 10:42.12 run and set an Oberlin indoor record. Overall, the team was strong, finishing second out of six teams with a total of 110 points. “It turned out to be a good night,” said Feeney. “I ran decently, though split-wise, it was not one of my best races.” The team had a great season in 2001, finishing third in the North Coast Athletic Conference and with three members qualifying for the NCAA Division III National Championships. With the anticipation of improvements in the middle distance crew and growing strength in all events, coach Tom Mulligan is looking forward to a powerhouse team across the board. “As a team, we’re doing really well,” said Feeney. “We’re really looking strong, and the freshmen are impressive.” The hurdlers are expected to be an especially kicking group this year, headed by senior co-captain Apryl Wynn, who has finished second in both the indoor 55m and the outdoor 100m, and ninth overall at the NCAA Championships. Junior co-captain Vicki Alla, who placed eighth in the NCAC last spring, and sophomore Sarah Bennett are heading up the middle distance racers. The first-years are drawing attention with solid skills, versatility and anticipated future performances. Among a whole team of notables are hurdlers Leslie Bosworth and Teresa Collins as well as middle distance runners Shannon Morris and Renee Walsh. Today the team hosts the Oberlin Invitational. Case Western Reserve University, Cuyahoga Community College, John Carroll University, Muskingum College and Otterbein College are attending. The team feels prepared and calm. “It’s schools we don’t race very often. For me, I try to just run my own race,” Feeney said. “Overall, people are working on their own style and technique.” The Oberlin Invitational is today, Feb. 8, at 6 p.m. in the John Heisman Club Field House. |
