CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Radford University women's track & field team competed in its penultimate regular season meet this weekend, the three-day UVA Challenge.

RESULTS
Radford posted a handful of strong performances on Friday afternoon, led by Kate McLearen's efforts in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. After the freshman recorded a podium finish last weekend, she rounded out the top ten this weekend by posting a time of 11:31.59, a new personal record, to improve her spot on the program's all-time top-ten list.

Another personal-best mark was posted on Saturday, this time by Elyssia Fisher in the long jump. The Durham, N.C. native posted a distance of 5.42 meters.

Jaslyne Robinson continued to impress in the hurdling events; the freshman registered two strong runs in the 100-meter and 400-meter hurdles. She earned a new personal record in the 400-meter event as she posted a time of 1:04.89 to round out the top 20 positions.

A new-look 4x400-meter relay team of Julia Burkley, Breauna Lane, Fisher and Robinson closed out the day with the second-best time of the season.

QUOTABLE
Head coach Shelli Sayers was glad to see everything come together on the final day. "Saturday was exciting with the weather and change in schedule. We had to keep moving quickly from event to event and it worked out well for us," she said.

"Jaslyne just keeps getting better and better. She is gaining the confidence as we move towards the conference meet."

UP NEXT
The Highlanders will head back to Charlottesville next Sunday to wrap up their regular season. The team will compete in the UVA High Performance Meet, a one-day competition on April 30.
