COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. - Haverford wrapped up Centennial Conference Championships at Ursinus on Sunday. The Fords had multiple athletes set for finals.

Haverford finished sixth in the team scoring with 76 points. Johns Hopkins took the overall conference crown with 253 total points.
Robinson started her day with a third-place finish in the shot put. She scored six points for Haverford with her throw of 11.83 meters (38 feet, 9.75 inches). Also scoring for Haverford in that event was Cortlyn Morris, as she logged a throw of 11.11 meters (36 feet, 5.4 inches). Next, Robinson would finish third in the triple jump for her second podium finish of the day, jumping 11 meters (36 feet, 1.07 inches).
Finally, Robinson was part of the 4x100 meter relay team that finished fourth. Naomi Fukuda, Jahsaiah Moses, and Isabel Thornberry completed the team, crossing the finish line in 50.52. Isabel Thornberry finished fourth in the 400-meter final, lowering her personal best to 58.83. She also jumped to second on Haverford's all-time list in the 400-meter dash.
Moses led the way for the sprinters finishing second in the 100-meter dash and fifth in the 100-meter hurdles. Moses earned a spot on the podium with 12.76, finishing just 0.20 off the first-place finisher. She improved on her preliminary time of 13.03. Moses ran 16.51 in the hurdles, good enough for a new personal best. Her previous best was 16.82, which she ran in the prelim.
Fiona Flynn finished fourth in the 400-meter hurdles after running a personal best of 1:06.85. Her time was three seconds faster than her preliminary time and nearly two seconds faster than her previous best of 1:08.00. Katie Hirsche earned her second podium finish of the championship weekend after finishing third in the 5000 meters. The first-year crossed the finish line in 18:08.59, which is oddly just 0.30 seconds off her personal best, given the length of the race.
