Women’s Track opens strong at VMI Winter Classic

LEXINGTON, Va. – The VMI women's track and field team is off to a great start after the first day of the 2024 VMI Winter Classic.

VMI Director of Track and Field Zack Scott
"On Day 1 our women's team showed promise for our last tune up for the Southern Conference Championship."

"Personal best times from SeMore Green, Heaven Hall and Alina LaForest in the 300m is a good indicator what they will be ready to do in two weeks. In the field events - after breaking out of the rat line Monday - Anijah James had a personal-best long jump mark of 5.36m for ninth place with her team captain Eleyah Armstrong finishing third with a long jump of 5.82m. In the throwing area, team captain Jenna Kirkland threw the 20 lbs. weight for a new season best of 13.35m and teammate Diamond Baker threw her personal best mark 11.09m.

"We are giving a large number of our team a weekend off to prepare them for the final push to get a little better before our Southern Conference Championship. We still have a couple competitors battling for slots who will be competing Saturday."

Up Next
The Keydets resume competition Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. in the shot put and triple jump. On the track, VMI will start at 10 a.m. in the mile run, 400m, 800, and 200 meter.
