Results
LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Army West Point women's track and field team finished the Bucknell Outdoor Classic in strong fashion, specifically from the likes of Briyah Brown. Brown took the title in the shot put while topping her own school record. Her top throw of 15.15 meters was far and away the best throw of the day, as nobody else topped 14 meters.
"Brown has been so good for us this year and so dependable that her success is often taken for granted," said Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Mike Smith. "It is not easy to win or compete at the top each and every week yet there she is at every meet. I am proud of her and really look forward to what she can do we move ahead into the championship meets."
The Black Knights also saw Cassie Mundekis posted an ECAC qualifying mark. Her fourth-place finish in the 800 meter run came in 2:11.73. Mundekis was one of only five to post an ECAC time of the 90 competitors.
Army had another pair of individuals with solid performances. Cori Lemere placed 11th out of 59 in the 100 meter dash (12.70) and 16th out of 44 in the long jump (5.34 meters). Megan Gemar also placed fourth in the pole vault as she cleared 3.60 meters in her second try. She fell short at 3.75 meters, which would have tied the school-record set by Kaci Clark in 2011 and also been good enough for an ECAC qualifying mark (set at 3.70 meters).
The Cadets will have another opportunity to compete next week at Princeton in the Larry Ellis Invitational. That event is a Friday-Saturday competition.
