LOWELL -- Junior Kaleigh Fitzpatrick (Lynnfield, MA) was a double winner, and Tufts women's track & field athletes won five events overall at the 2007 George Davis Invitational hosted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell on Saturday.

Fitzpatrick doubled in the 200 and 400 meters, winning the former in 27.04 seconds and the latter in 60.68 seconds. First-year Andrea Ferri (Dracut, MA) provided Tufts with a solid 1-2 finish in the 200 with her 27.17 time.

The Jumbos won the 200, 400, 800 and 1,500 meters races at the event. Junior Cat Beck (Brookline, NH) was first in the 800 meters with an NCAA provisional qualifying time of 2 minutes, 14.46 seconds. Senior tri-captain Sarah Crispin (Auburn, ME) won the 1,500 meters in a 4:52.68 time.

The Jumbos also got a victory in the hammer throw from junior Sarah Martin (Woonsocket, RI), whose 135-foot best heave was 21-feet longer than the second-place distance of 114' 8" by Stonehill's Meghan Rocha.

The 4x400 relay of Ferri, Beck, Fitzpatrick and junior Joyce Uang (Medford, MA) finished in 4:11.95 for a distance second behind Wheaton College (3:59.6). First-year sprinter/jumper Logan Crane (Portland, ME) had a good day, placing second in the 100 meters in 12.91 seconds and taking third in the long jump at 16' 3 3/4". Junior Jenna Weir (New York, NY) was the runner with 35' 2" length in the triple jump. Sophomore Paula Dormon (Brockton, MA) was third in the shot put at 37' 10".
