HAVERFORD, Pa. – The Haverford College men's and women's indoor track & field teams hosted the Haverford Quad Meet Wednesday afternoon and picked up a number of solid performances as the two squads prepare for the conference championship on the same track 10 days from now.

The women's team saw a personal best from Christina Neilson who captured first-place in the 55 meter dash with a time of 7.38 seconds. Neilson also ran on the winning 4x200 and 4x400 meter relays.

The anchor for the 4x400 relay, Maria Braxton, dashed off a first-place time of 1 minute, 4.33 seconds in the 400 for the Fords and Kimberly Carlomagno, a member of the 4x200 quartet, registered a first-place finish in the 200 with a time of 27.68.

Another season best was posted by Kara McMahon who won the 800 in a time of 2:25.87. Also running to top finishes were Kaitlyn Shank in the 5,000 meter run (19:09.89) and Emily Lipman in the mile (5:20.29). Five more Fords followed immediately behind Lipman in the race as Haverford posted the six-fastest times in the meet by collegians.

In the field events, Kylie Lipinski had a winning leap of 4.94m (16 feet, 2 1/2 inches) in the long jump and Haley Lowrance's toss of 10.97m (36-0) in the shot put was best in the meet. Allison Guindon cleared a new personal-best height of 2.26m (7-5) to take second-place in the pole vault for Haverford.

The Haverford trio of Andrew Golato, Eric Arnold and Jacob Olshansky swept the first three spots in the men's 800. Golato's winning time was 1:57.10 with Arnold only 0.70 behind. Olshansky crossed the line in a time of 2:01.08.

The Fords also swept the top three spots in the 3,000. Jake Koffer led the trio with a winning time of 9:03.49 while Chris Stadler was second (9:07.97) and Avi Bregman was third (9:10.72).

In the mile, the Fords nabbed the first 12 spots in the event as Peter Kissin's winning time of 4:25.94 led the parade of white Haverford singlets across the finish.

Edward Oh was the top collegian in the pole vault clearing a height of 4.10m (13-5.25), and Andy Bennet captured the long jump with a winning leap of 6.50m (21-4).

Tom Mahoney was second in the high jump and Kahmai Martin-Kirkland was second in the shot put.

Both the men and women will have one final tune-up, next Saturday at the NYU Invitational, before hosting the Centennial Conference championship in Alumni Field House on Saturday, February 26.
