LEXINGTON, Va. – Highlighted by sophomore Eleyah Armstrong's long jump performance in which she tied a school record, the VMI track and field teams earned excellent marks to conclude the VMI Winter Classic Saturday at the Corps Physical Training Facility.
 
The Hampton, Virginia, native earned a long jump distance of 5.83 meters to tie Bria Anderson's mark from 2016. Armstrong also placed 15th overall in the 200 meter in 25.77 seconds.
 
Distance runner Gretal Shank placed 13th overall in the mile run with a time of 5:23.83.
 
VMI Director of Track and Field Zack Scott
"This was another meet down to test if we are getting better for the SoCon Championships. Eleyah Armstrong is getting it done on the long jump runway for the Keydets with five jumps over 5.48m and one jump at 5.83m, finishing third and tying the school record at 5.83m.
 
"The women's team is pushing the performance envelope a little more each week as seen in the results as the Keydets move up the Southern Conference performance list every week."
