February 24, 2017 | Track & Field
Women keep the lead while the men stand at second after the second day of competition
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – After a second day of competition at the ACC Indoor Championships, the Louisville women stayed atop the standings with 43.5 points after seven events were scored. The Louisville men are in second with 37 points with six events scored. Senior Damar Robinson defended his high jump title to give the Cardinals a second event title.
"Both squads continued to build upon the momentum established on Thursday," said head coach Dale Cowper. "We saw several season bests and even some new school records today. I couldn't be more pleased with the way each squad is competing through day two."
The day began with the Cardinals sweeping the men's high jump competition. Robinson won the title for the second straight year with a jump of 2.21m/7-3. The mark was just shy of his personal best. Javen Reeves finished second with an indoor personal best jump of 2.18m/7-1 ¾. Jerin Allen gave Louisville the sweep, finishing third with a personal best mark of 2.18m/7-1 ¾.
Eric Fox also earned points for the Cardinal men with a third place finish in the men's heptathlon. He earned first team All-ACC honors with 5,409 total points. Fox broke his previous record of 5,353 points from the 2016 season. He moved up two spot from yesterday by winning the pole vault with a mark of 5.00m/16-04.75 and a third place finish in the 1000 meter run with a time of 2:42.84. He finished ninth in the 60 meter hurdles.
"Eric Fox fought through the heptathlon to set a new school record and earn first team All-ACC accolades with his third place finish," said Cowper. "He'll do his best to recover from the grueling two day competition and get ready for the open pole vault tomorrow."
On the women's side, sophomore Morgan Zacharias finished second in the women's pole vault to score points for the Cardinals. Zacharias finished with a indoor personal best mark of 4.06m/13-03.75. The mark also tied her personal best set year during the outdoor season.
"Morgan Zacharias was tremendous for our women's squad with a runner-up finish in the women's pole vault.," Cowper said. "She was clean through the early heights and it really paid off in the final standings."
Senior Bre'Yana Wash and freshman Alexis Gibbons continue their success in the long jump this season, earning All-ACC honors. Wash finished fourth with a jump of 6.17m/20-3. Gibbons finished fifth with a mark of 6.16m/20-2 ½.
"Bre'Yana Wash and Alexis Gibbons were able to combine for big team points in the women's long jump with marks of 6.17 and 6.16 meters respectively," said Cowper.
Three Cardinals advanced to the finals tomorrow. Raven Grant and Mia Ross with compete for the Cardinal women while Martice Moore will compete for the men. Grant finished tied for fifth in the 60 meter dash with a new personal best time of 7.38. Ross finished 10th in the mile run with a personal best time of 4:48.93. Moore advanced to the 60 meter hurdle finals after finishing sixth with a time of 8.12.
"Mia Ross, Raven Grant, and Martice Moore were able to advance to the finals of their respective races," Cowper said. "We will rely on them heavily during the day tomorrow."
The Cardinals will wrap up the championship on Saturday. Competition will begin Saturday at 11:00 a.m. with the women's shot put.
