SALEM, Va. – The Concord University women's track & field team returned to Roanoke College for the second time this indoor season to compete in the Bast-Cregger Invite Friday and Saturday.

The top performance for the Mountain Lions was a record-setting one as freshman Cassidy Hammonds broke the program record in the pentathlon, scoring 2,618 points and finishing 14th. The school record was set last season by Nadiyah Abdussalaam at 2,512 points. Hammonds is now seventh in the event in the Mountain East Conference.

Hammonds scored 771 of her points in the 60-meter hurdles as she clocked 9.69 seconds. She added 578 points in the long jump with a mark 5.07 meters.

In the individual events, Hammonds was 12th in the triple jump as she leaped 10.15 meters.
Concord secured two top-six finishes in the 3,000-meter run.

Junior Katy Walkup came through in 10:54.49 seconds which was a personal-record time and good enough for fourth place. Senior Madison Cornett was two spots back as she clocked 10:57.66.
Freshman Cierra Parker cleared 1.49 meters in the high jump to place sixth.

Elsewhere in the distance medley relay, senior Alexis Anzevino, sophomore Piper Doughton, sophomore Abbey Londeree and sophomore Charlotte McGinnis combine to run 14:35.19 to finish ninth.

In the 400-meter dash, sophomore Izzy Williams ran 1:02.73 to finish seventh while freshman Jenna Webb was 19th in a showing of 1:06.98.

Graduate student Abbey Wallace and sophomore Meagan Poticher had the exact same throw in the shot put as they both tossed 10.49 meters to finish 14th and 15th. It was a season-best throw for Wallace, and a career-record toss for Poticher.

The duo is now tied for 16th in the conference in the event which is the cutoff qualification for the MEC Indoor Championships later this month.

CU is back in action when it travels to the Liberty Open Friday in Lynchburg, Virginia.
