LOWELL, Mass. – The Wellesley College track and field team competed strong at the George Davis Invitational hosted by UMass-Lowell on Saturday. The Blue boasted two New England qualifiers at the event, while sophomore Zoe Sobel recorded the second-year varsity program's first official high jump mark.

Wellesley's Randelle Boots and Leah Clement highlighted the action for the Blue with top-ten finishes in the 1,500-meter race. Boots, a junior, took third overall in 4:38.82, qualifying for the New England Division III, the New England Intercollegiate and the ECAC Division III Championships in the process. Clement, a senior, was outstanding in her 1,500-meter debut, taking seventh overall in her first race at the distance. Her time of 4:46.79 qualified her for both the New England Division III and the ECAC Division III Championships.

Also performing well in the 1,500-meter race, senior Cailey Stevens recorded a personal best time of 5:06.79.

In the high jump, Sobel, a versatile athlete, recorded the first official high jump mark for the Wellesley track and field program. Her jump of 4'-05.00" formally establishes the Blue record in the event. Sobel also improved her record in the triple jump, recording a mark of 30' 5.75".

Other highlights for the Blue included a 21st place finish from first-year Vanessa Wilkins in the 3,000-meter race and a 13th-place finish from the Blue 4x100m relay team. Wilkins time of 10:45.17 shattered her previous personal best of 11:01.13. In the relay, Wellesley's Judine St. Gerard, Sobel, Sarah Chen and Sheena Dupuy, teamed up for a time of 57.35.
