Blue and Gold Hits Three Standards On Day One Of UNF Spring Break Invitational

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle women's track and field team performed well on the first day of the UNF Spring Break Invitational on Friday.  The Eagles hit three total national qualifying standards and barley missed hitting several more.
 
Halle Green-Anderson had an excellent day for the Blue and Gold as she posted two "A" standards.  Green-Anderson hit her first standard in the long jump with a leap of 5.77m, finishing second overall in the event, which featured many NCAA I athletes.  The junior then hit her second "A" standard of the day in the 100m hurdle prelims, posting a time of 14.66 and finishing just .10 second shy of qualifying for a spot in the final.
 
The final national qualifying standard of the day for ERAU came in the 400m hurdles as Kristen Metcalfe hit a "B" standard in the event with a time of 1:04.26, finishing fifth overall in a field of mostly NCAA I athletes.
 
Marina LeVine posted her personal best time in the 800m as she finished sixth overall with a time of 2:16.49, missing a "B" standard by less than the half a second.  Daisha Brown also barely missed posting a "B" in the triple jump with a mark of 11.33m, as the freshman finished sixth in the event.
 
Brianna Paczynski had a career day for the Eagles as well as she posted her personal-best time in the 1500m, crossing the finish line in 5:20.18.
 
The final day of competition at the UNF Spring Break Invitational will take place on Saturday as the Eagles are set to compete in all the relay events.  The first relay, the 4x800, will begin at 10:40 a.m.
