Track Opens Season Friday at Sewanee Early Meet

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga women's track and field team will open the indoor season Friday, Dec. 6 at the Sewanee Early Season Invitational.

"We're looking forward to a low-key opening to our indoor season," Chattanooga head coach Andy Meyer said. "After cross country season ended several of the kids needed a break and are gaining ack fitness. Sewanee offers a great opportunity for our kids to ease back into competition."

The running events will begin at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time and be on a rolling start the remainder of the meet. Freshman Madelyn Thompson, one of five newcomers running in their first collegiate meet, will get things started in the women's 55 meter Hurdles. She is also slated to run the 200 meter dash.

Juniors Jada Hale and Sophia Neglia are on the start list for the Mile and 800 meter runs and will be joined by freshman Sydney Cansler in the shorter race. Sophomore Sage Davis and freshman McKenzie Williamson will be in the 55- and 200-meter dash.

Seniors Emily Poole and Hannah Caldwell along with McKenzie Jones and freshman Lesley Green will run the 3000 meter. The Mocs will have two teams in the 1600 meter relay to close out the meet.

The Mocs were originally slated to run at the Birmingham Southern College Icebreaker at the CrossPlex in Birmingham, but due to exams schedules, Meyer moved to the closer meet.

"This is the first meet for our track specific athletes to open their season after training hard all fall," Meyer said. "they are very eager to get started.

"This early in the season many of the kids will be running events that will aid them in the development of their feature events later in the season. They get to have fun doing events they won't be in as our season progresses."

Live scoring will be available for the event. Links are available at GoMocs.com on the Track and Field schedule page.
