CHESTER, Pa. -- The Christopher Newport track & field teams registered a series of historic efforts while stockpiling PRs during the Widener Final Qualifier on Monday at the George A. Hansell Track in Chester, Pennsylvania.
Leading the way, the Captains continued to make history in the throwing events. In the men's discus,
Latrell Fomby placed second in the field - and first among collegiate competitors - with a 51.55-meter launch. That marked the third-longest throw in program history and moved him into the top-20 on this year's national charts.
On the women's side,
Katie Stevens won the hammer with a 52.56-meter distance, which also ranks in the top-20 nationally. Meanwhile,
Rylee Ehrett established a new PR in the event with a 44.97-meter throw. That slots fourth on the school's all-time performance list.
In other throwing events, Stevens placed fifth in the discus (42.06 meters), while
Colin Sliwa matched that finish in the men's hammer (56.42 meters). Additionally,
Daniel Young was second in the shot put (15.16 meters), and
Charlie Anania came in 12th in the javelin (45.25 meters).
On the track,
Adalyn Perez and
Ellie Nuckols both pieced together historic efforts for CNU. In the 800, Perez crossed the line in 2:16.38, which moved her to fifth on the program's all-time leaderboard. Nuckols also vaulted to fifth in school lore in the 400-hurdles after clocking in at 1:02.64. That was the top time by a Captain since 2011.
Making her mark in a pair of field events,
Ashley Eley equaled her PR in the high jump after eclipsing 1.58 meters, which also tied the ninth-highest clearance in program history. Later, she chipped in with an 11.14-meter distance in the triple jump, which placed her seventh in the field.
Two Captains also starred in the long jump on Monday.
Leo Brennan posted a 6.53-meter leap on the men's side, while
Grace Damewood finished ninth in the women's discipline with a 5.33-meter showcase.
