Track and Field Prepares for AAC Indoor Championships

2.23.22 | Women's Track and Field

PHILADELPHIA - The Temple women's track and field team travels to Birmingham, Ala. this week for the American Athletic Conference Indoor Championships on Friday and Saturday. Both meet days are scheduled to air on ESPN+.

Last year, the AAC did not hold indoor championships so the Owls will look to build off of their third-place finish at the 2020 championships, Temple's best-ever finish at the event.

About the AAC Indoor Championships:
Helene Gottlieb looks to continue her form when competing in conference championships in the distance medley relay.

Michelle Joyce will look to put together strong performances in the 3000-meter and 5000-meter events, while Laura Nicholson will also attempt to compete for a spot on the podium in the 3000-meter event as well.

Coming off a personal-best in the 400m event in the last time out, sprinter Marissa White looks to round out a strong indoor season as she aims for the 400m title.

Tannekee Strachan has enjoyed an impressive season as well in the triple-jump event, and will challenge for the triple-jump title after breaking the school record earlier this season.

Last Time Out:
White sprinted to a time of 54.39 in the 400m event to take the top spot in the weekend while breaking a personal-best time.

Strachan continued her good form from last weekend with a leap of 12.37m to take first place in the triple jump. 

Freshman Amira Green tied for fourth-place in the high jump with a mark of 1.61m.

Chelby Elam ran to a time of 7.687 in the 60m dash to take fourth place while narrowly missing out on her personal best.
