HANOVER, N.H. - -
Ama Boham's record-setting 60-meter hurdles effort highlighted the weekend as the Cornell women's track and field team took seventh at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at Dartmouth. The Big Red set numerous personal bests, top 10 school marks and ECAC/IC4A qualifying times over the two-day meet.
Boham nipped Harvard's Izzy Goudros at the tape in 8.43, besting the previous Cornell mark of 8.43 by All-American
Brooke Overholt. That bested her fifth-place qualifying time of 8.58 and put 10 points on the board for the Big Red.
Among other individual finishers,
Victoria Atkinson registered the second-place pole-vault mark, upping her own school record height clearance to 4.17 meters.
Phoebe Price-Roberts came in fifth place for the weight throw (18.72m),
Noelle Elkinton posted a sixth-place tally (13.81) in the shot put and Olivia Rodrigues tied for fourth in the high jump (1.70).
