The Emory University Women's Track and Field Team finished in
third place in the team standings at the 2014 University Athletic
Association (UAA) Championships in Chicago, Illinois, hosted by the
University of Chicago.
The Emory women totaled 155 points during the meet, to finish
behind champions Washington (211 points) and second-place Chicago
(201.5 points). Rounding out the standings were NYU (81
points), Case (76.5 points), Carnegie (58 points) and Brandeis (30
points). The third-place finish ended a streak of
four-straight outdoor conference championships for the Eagles, but
marked the 11th-straight top-three finish for Emory.
After junior Ulrica Tull claimed a championship in the
hammer throw on Saturday, the Emory women added on four more
individual titles and one relay championship on Sunday.
Junior Electra Korn paced the Eagles with a pair of
individual titles, winning both the 400-meter dash with a time of
56.97 seconds, and the 400-meter hurdles with a time of
1:03.76. Korn also teamed with freshman Harley Barrera,
senior Morgan Monroe and junior Debora
Adjibaba to win the 4x100-meter relay with a time of 47.99
seconds.
Monroe and Adjibaba each claimed individual titles of their own on
Sunday. Adjibaba won the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.43
seconds, in addition to finishing as the runner-up in the 200-meter
dash with a time of 25.35 seconds. Monroe added a victory in
the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.71 seconds.
Two other Eagles had runner-up finishes during the second day of
competition, with junior Katie Wilson claiming second in
the high jump, clearing the bar at 1.58 meters, while
senior Hope Olszewski finished second in the javelin
throw with a distance of 33.27 meters. Claiming all-UAA
honors with third-place finishes were sophomore Julie
Williamson in the 800-meter run (2:18.14) and
junior Pollara Cobb in the triple jump (10.88
meters).
