DAVENPORT, Iowa --
Allison Ramsey headlined the University of St. Francis women's indoor track & field team's performance at the St. Ambrose University Fighting Bee Invitational with her two first-place 'B' standard efforts in the 1,000-meter and one-mile races on Saturday.
Ramsey, one of nine Fighting Saints to score on the day, registered times of 5:06.66 in the mile and 3:00.60 in the 1,000m. Teammates
Nicole Vollrath and
Dyannara Franco also placed in both events. Vollrath finished second in the mile run at 5.21.23 and third in the 1,000m at 3:12.94, while Franco placed fifth in both events with times of 5:31.28 and 3:16.81, respectively.
Ramsey fell 6.66 seconds shy of the "A" mark in the mile and 4.1 seconds short in the 1000m, which would have automatically punched her ticket to the NAIA National Championships next month. Her 1,000m time currently places her fifth among all NAIA competitors and her mile showing presently places her sixth.
USF showcased two third-place finishes on the day in the 400-meter and triple jump events.Â
Gianna Trenter authored a time of 1:06.75 in the 400m, whileÂ
Claire Roberts recorded a final distance of 9.06 meters in the triple jump.
In the 600-meter race, three Saints finished with scoring efforts.Â
Patrycja Mrowca ran a time of 2:00.30, placing her fifth overall, while
Aaralyn Martinez crossed the line in sixth at 2:00.49. Roberts secured seventh place in the event with her time of 2:05.15.
Rounding out USF's final points were
Jaden Hart in the weight throw and
Mikayla Watson in the 200-meter dash. Hart threw for a distance of 12.28 meters to place fifth overall, while Watson ran a time of 29.08 seconds to finish seventh.
St. Francis totaled 70 points on the day to finish fourth among eight scoring teams. Grand View University (Iowa) captured the meet crown with its 139-point total.
