EWING, N.J. - The Haverford College women's track team, in its final tune-up before next weekend's conference championship, had a successful outing at the Lions Invitational hosted by The College of New Jersey on Saturday.

Sophomore Chelsea Thorsheim paced the Fords with a second-place finish in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. Thorsheim's time of 11 minutes, 25.24 seconds currently sits in the top spot on the Centennial Conference performance list. The first Division-III runner to finish, Thorsheim led a trio of Haverford runners that placed in the top-eight overall. Andrea Tocci's season-best time of 11:54.40 was good for fifth and Nora Howe's career-best effort of 12:29.64 earned eighth. Tocci's time is the fifth-best time in the conference this season while Howe's time ranks twelfth.

The Fords also ran well in the 400 meter dash as Hannah Davis placed seventh with a career-best time of 1:00.97 which currently is the sixth-best time in the Centennial this season. Nicole Inman followed in 10th and also added a career-best effort in the 200m dash.

Emily Scott and Kara McMahon grabbed two more top-10 finishes for Haverford in the 1,500. Scott's career-best time of 4:49.70 was good for sixth while McMahon placed ninth with a season-best showing of 4:52.77.
