BOSTON, MA - Sophomore Amanda Cole shattered her own school record in the weight throw with a distance of 50-1 3/4 as the Temple women's indoor track team competed at the unscored Terrier Classic at Boston University this weekend. Cole finished fourth in the event and bettered her previous personal best by nearly four feet. She is only two feet short of qualifying for the ECAC Championship.
Junior Cheryl Anscombe placed 13th in the 55m dash (7.41) while freshman Melissa Gale was seventh in the pole vault (10-6 3/4). Cole was also 13th in the shot put (35-8). Sophomore Rose Drayton finished 20th in the 200m (26.30).
The Owls also sent competitors to the Bucknell Bison Open this weekend. Sophomore Devon DuPont was fifth in the pentathlon (3281 points). Junior Noelle McKenzie was third in the 800m (2:24.83) while classmate Shanece Pratt turned in a 9th (200m, 26.77) and 11th (60m, 8.06) finishes.
Temple will again split its squad next weekend at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational at the New York City Armory and the Ursinus Open.
