Results

NEW LONDON, Conn. -- The Tufts University women's outdoor track & field team won the Coast Guard Invitational on Saturday with a score of 201 points. Host Coast Guard scored 150 points, and the rest of the 10-team field was well behind.

The Jumbos were led by a double-win from junior Cat Beck (Brookline, NH). She was first in the 800 meters with a time of 2 minutes, 18.32 seconds. In the 1,500 meters, she just missed the NCAA provisional qualifying time of 4:40.20 with a 4:40.66 finish to win that race.

Beck was also part of the team's win the 4x400 relay. The Tufts "A" team of junior Kaleigh Fitzpatrick (Lynnfield, MA), Beck, junior Joyce Uang (Medford, MA) and junior Anna Shih (Pittsford, NY) won by more than five seconds with their time of 4:14.07. Though Tufts didn't score in the 4x100 relay, they had the best time. The Tufts "A" team disqualified, but the "B" squad of junior Jenna Weir (New York, NY), sophomore Aubrey Wasser (Richmond, VT), first-year Andrea Ferri (Dracut, MA) and sophomore Paula Dorman (Brockton, MA) ran 51.91 seconds. However, only one relay foursome per school can score in each race. The Tufts "A" group was designated upon entering the meet, so the "B" team could not get the 10 points for winning.

Dorman, in a show of speed and power for the day, also won the shot put with a distance of 36 feet, 11 inches. Other Tufts winners were Fitzpatrick in the triple jump (34' 11") and sophomore Susan Allegretti (Crown Point, IN) in the 3,000 meter steeplechase (12:22.64).
