The New York University women's track & field team competed at the Ramapo Invitational on Friday, January 17, hosted by Ramapo College at the Armory in Manhattan.
The Violets' top finish of the day came from freshman
Siena Moran (Princeton, NJ/Princeton) in the mile, who won the race in 5:08.27, more than 11 seconds from the nearest competitor. She was joined in the top-10 by sophomores
Athina Zodl (Raleigh, NC/Cary Academy) (third, 5:20.68) and
Kate Gallagher (East Hanover, NJ/Hanover Park) (eighth, 5:28.80).
"Definitely I'd like to highlight Siena on the women's side," Head Coach
Erison Hurtault said. "You know, 5:08, pretty much all by herself, shows that she can do something great in the right circumstances."
