The 13th and final event of the Orange and Brown women’s track and field scrimmage decided the winner on Friday.
With each squad having won six events heading into the final event, the Orange broke the tie after winning the 4×200 meter.
The team of Allison Weimer, Rachel Doughty, Tatijana Jacobson and Jeannette Pettigrew finished the race in 1:45.1, besting the Brown’s squad time of 1:49.1.
The team scrimmage allowed the Falcons to sense competition for the first time since practices began.
‘We always look forward to this event and getting everybody together for the first time,’ said coach Cami Wells. ‘We’re looking for everyone to compete hard, support one another, and give good efforts before they have to focus on finals this coming week.’
Wells said the entire team did well, and highlighted some individual performers.
‘Jeannette Pettigrew – in the 55 meter, 200 meter and the 4×200 meter – looked extremely strong today. Certainly, those are some quick times in an intrasquad meet in those events,’ she said. ‘Heather Conger did a very nice job in the 1,000 meter and in the 4×600 meter – she anchored a comeback. And in the throwing events, Ashley Harris did really well.’
With next week off and winter break approaching, the Falcons return to full practice Jan. 12, the first Monday of the spring semester.
The team’s first meet is the BGSU Challenge on Jan. 16 at 11 a.m. in Perry Fieldhouse. Several Mid-American Conference teams and other in-state schools will be competing.
‘I appreciate that people came out to watch, and we’d like people to come back and watch that meet on Jan. 16,’ Wells said. ‘It will be a very competitive meet with several MAC teams … and we appreciate all the support we can get with people coming and cheering on our student-athletes.’
