MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University women’s track and field team completed their stay at the historic Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pa., this afternoon.
“Penn Relays is always a nice tune-up for the BIG EAST Championships,” Coach Sean Cleary said. “We are leaving this meet having done what we needed to do to be prepared for next week.”
On Thursday, the 4x100 relay team of Kyllie Bebout, April Rotilio, Chelsea Carrier and Brittany Hohn finished in 33rd place (47.39), while the 4x400 relay team made up of Jordann Mitchell, Carrier, Hohn and Rotilio finished in 35th place (3:53.74).
The high-jumpers Katelyn Williams and Natasha Redman finished tied for fourth place (1.68-meters) and a tie for 12th place (1.64-meters), respectively.
Jessica O’Connell represented WVU with a 14th-place finish (9:55.63) in the 3,000-meter race, while Carrier competed in the 100-meter hurdles and finished in 12th place (13.70) as the last Mountaineer to race. O’Connell’s time was an ECAC Championship qualifying time, while Carrier’s was an NCAA Regional qualifying time.
West Virginia will now continue their season with postseason action in the BIG EAST Championships in Villanova, Pa., from May 1-3.
