Storrs, Conn.Senior distance runner Sadie Sigfstead (Edmonton, Alta.) Was the bronze medalist in the 5000 meters and led a trio from Villanova athlete, which were continued for the event as an action in the Big East Outdoor athletics championships on Friday evening by Jeep. The All-Senior Trium Virate of Sigfstead, Margaret Carroll (Mount Wolf, Pa.) And Emma McGill (Lebanon, NJ) Everyone scored outdoors in a 5 -km goal for the second Big East Meet in a row.
The wildcats have 28 team points and are fourth in the overall ranking in the last day of action that begins on Saturday morning. Only eight of the 22 events in the Meet program were achieved and Villanova collected 11 of her points from her three scorers in the 5 km value.
Sigfstead earned her seventh career All-Big East Honor and second in the 5000 meters. She already started the weekend in a strong position to qualify for the NCAA Eeatt runs later this month both in 5 km and in 10,000 meters, so that during the conference meeting she was more likely to run against the field than against the clock. Sigfstead was constant in the race on Friday from start to finish and achieved a time of 16: 07.57. In her second race, Carroll was fifth in 16: 14.66 in so many days, while McGill was eight with a time of 16: 30.15.
This is the second year in a row in which Carroll achieved both in the 10 km and in the 5 km at the Big East Championships. However, her achievements in the last two nights have been particularly impressive because she achieved the best two individuals of her great Eastern career within 24 hours. Carroll lowered her PR for the third time this season in the 5 km time and crossed the finish line in 16: 14.66 on Friday after ending almost a minute after her 10 km -PR 34: 17.69 on Thursday evening.
McGill led the field of runners in the first 1200 meters in the 5 km before the start of the race and the runners set off on the second mile. Villanova ended 4: 5-8 in the Big East Outdoor 5k last season. Sigfstead, McGill and Carroll placed in this order. Their results this year exceeded the last season by one point.
