JONES INCREASES TRIPLE JUMP MARK AGAIN AT BU

COLLEGE WOMEN'S INDOOR TRACK & FIELD RESULTS
Terrier Invitational
At Boston, MA
Friday, January 29, 2010

Meet Results
Junior Andrea Caruth placed among the top 10 in the 500 meters
 

BOSTON -- A handful of competitors from the Tufts University women's indoor track & field team were at the annual Boston University Terrier Invitational on Friday afternoon. It was a non-scoring meet.

For the third time in as many weeks, sophomore Nakeisha Jones (Boston, MA) improved her national qualifying mark in the triple jump. Her best effort of 38'2" (11.63m) on Friday bettered last week's 38'0 3/4" (11.6m), which was the best distance in the nation. Jones placed fourth at the meet, which featured collegiate participants from all divisions and other post-graduates.

Coach Kristen Morwick's Jumbo squad had two top 10 finishes at the meet. Along with Jones, junior Andrea Caruth (Vauxhall, NJ) was ninth in the 500 meters (1:18.88).

Junior Amy Wilfert (Westborough, MA) finished the 5,000 meter run with a 17:57.18 time, taking 17th place out of 44. Tufts had two entrants in the 200 meter dash. Senior co-captain Andrea Ferri (Dracut, MA) ran 26.33 seconds for 31st place. Teammate Logan Crane (Portland, ME) finished in 26.80 seconds for 43rd place among a field of 79.

The Jumbos continue their weekend at the Bowdoin Invitational on Saturday.
