The Concord University women's track and field team broke two school
records and Shawnee Carnett improved on her previous NCAA provisional
qualifying time in the 800-meters to highlight the Mountain Lions'
efforts at the Division II Team Challenge at the SPIRE Institute in
Geneva, Ohio Saturday.
As a team, Concord placed 14th out of 22 teams with a score of 18 points.
Carnett won the 800-meters with a time of 2:12.17, an improvement over
her previous NCAA provisional qualifying time of 2:14.95. Carnett's mark
is currently the fourth-fastest in Division II. Vivian Ruiz qualified
for the WVIAC Championships in the event as well after posting a
season-best time of 2:29.63. Ruiz also clocked a 5:38.41 mile to place
14th in the race.
Concord's 4x400-meter relay team of Casey Ord, Lydia Powell, Demi Kirk
and Carnett just missed the NCAA provisional qualifying time of 3:55.80
when the group completed their run in 3:56.11, placing third overall. In
addition to being the fastest relay time in the WVIAC this season, the
mark also broke the three-year old indoor 4x400-meter record at Concord
of 4:03.33.
Casey Ord broke the Concord 60-meter dash record for the second time
this season on Saturday, running her 60-meter prelim race in 8.08
seconds (13th place.). She entered the D-II Challenge sharing the
previous record with Demi Kirk at 8.11 seconds.
Ord also qualified for the WVIAC Championships in the 200-meter dash
when she finished in 17th place with a time of 26.59 seconds.
Lydia Powell ran a personal-best time of 1:00.25 in the 400-meter dash
to finish 17th. The time is the third-fastest mark in the WVIAC this
year.
Rachel Williams (3,000-meters / 18th place – 11:15.79) and Ashleigh
Taylor (High Jump / 1.51 meters – 14th place) rounded out Concord's top
finishers Saturday.
Concord will continue its season Feb. 15-16 at the Virginia Tech Open.
