Posted

Junior Marisa Turner won the 200 and 400 meters and was second in the high jump and senior Divya Biswal won the long jump as St. Lawrence University's women's track and field team opened the 2015 outdoor season at the Rochester Alumni Invitational on Thursday.

The meet, originally scheduled for Saturday, was moved to Thursday to take advantage of a more favorable weather forecast. The Saint women, who did not have entries in the final two events of the meet, finished fourth in a 12-team field which was led by Division I Buffalo.

Turner won the 400 in 58.40, the 200 in 26.68 and was the top collegiate competitor and second overall in the high jump at 1.64 meters in addition to running the anchor leg on the fourth place 4x100 relay while Biswal won the long jump at 5.39 meters, was third in the 100 hurdles in 15.46 seconds and also ran on the 4x100 relay with Asanya Chinelo and Hannah Merriam, finishing in 50.26.

Megan Kellogg, Jenna Jasinski, Meghann Wood and Allison Scarf also had top five finishes for the Saints in Thursday's meet. Kellogg was second in the 1600 in 4:45.12 while Jasinski was second in the javelin with a throw of 33.64 meters. Wood threw the shot 11.77 meters to finish fourth and Scarf finished fifth in the triple jump at 10.44 meters.

The Saints were second in the 4x800 relay with a time of 10:27.50 and finished eighth in the 4x400 in 4:22.22.

Other scoring finishes for the Saints included a tie for sixth in the high jump by Scarf and Sarah Francesconi, Francesconi's eighth in the triple jump, a seventh in the 400 hurdles by Molly Lennon with Jacqui Ebeling eighth and an eighth by Jaleigh Pier in the 400.

The Saints will run at the Bucknell Invitational next Saturday and Sunday.
