Pioneers Compete in Wesleyan Invitational

Middletown, CT: In today’s non-scoring invitational held at Wesleyan University, many Pioneers did exceptionally well, displaying great individual performances. Senior Shayla Livingston (Sharon, VT) finished second in the 55 Meter Hurdles (8.80) while first year teammate Christine Dzialo (Belchertown, MA) finished third in the 1 mile run (5:30.00). Both junior Alison Cloutier (East Hampton, CT) and sophomore Sari Field (Nutley, NJ) did well in the 3000 Meter Run, placing fifth (11:15.04) and seventh (11:30.38), respectively. First year Jasmine Liverpool (Brooklyn, NY) also had an excellent day for the Pioneers as she finished first in the 600 Meter Run (1:45.43) and second in the Triple Jump (10.08). However, the highlight of the day for Smith’s roster came from senior McKane Sharff (Arlington, MA) who provisionally qualified for Nationals with a 55 Meter Dash time of 7.29.

The Pioneers are back in action next Saturday, February 17th as they compete in the New England Championships held at Southern Maine.
