Atlanta, GA - The Lady Tiger track & field team posted three regional-qualifying marks Saturday at the Yellow Jacket Invitational on the campus of Georgia Tech. The meet, held at the George C. Griffin Track, was highlighted for Clemson by Linda Buchholz' record-setting performance in the javelin throw.
Buchholz, a multi-event athlete from Germany, broke the school record in the javelin with a throw of 152'5". The previous best was 145'9" by Kammie Blount in 1999. Buchholz finished runner-up with her regional-qualifying effort. Bethanie Wachna improved on her personal best in that event with a throw of 141'5", which was good enough for a fourth-place finish. Liane Weber had a throw of 140'6", which ranks fourth in school history.
Ra'Sheena was seventh in the 100m dash after matching her personal best at 12.02 seconds. Kristine Scott crossed the finish line at 12.15 and was 12th overall. Scott also ran the 200m dash, finishing 12th in that event as well (24.55). Thea Dix placed in the top 10 of the 800m run with a time of 2:18.04.
Krystal Barringer posted her first-ever regional mark in the 100m high hurdles. She finished fifth overall with a time of 13.89, which ranks second-best on the team this season. Polly Hardy had a time of 13.98. Sierra Hill placed fifth in the 400m hurdles with a time of 1:01.97.
The 4x100m relay team placed third Saturday with a time of 46.06. The group consisted of Hardy, Parker, Michaylin Golladay, and Scott. The 4x400m relay team of Hill, Hardy, Patrice McMillan, and Weber finished sixth.
