Seahawks Battle Weather At Duke Invitational

DURHAM, North Carolina – The UNCW men's and women's track and field teams worked around inclement weather on the second day of the Duke Invitational on Good Friday at Morris Williams Stadium.
 
The Seahawks ended up competing in just two events on Friday after heavy rains swept through the Durham area.
 
Freshman Jordyn Robbins started the day by finishing second in the women's javelin with a throw of 123-11. The Hardy, Va., product trailed only Elon's Grace Dieleman (132-1) in the standings.
 
Later in the day, in the pole vault, Elise Hall soared a season-best 11-05.75 and freshman Bailey Tart achieved a season-best for the second straight week by clearing the same height. The competition was held indoors.
 
Due to the forecast of additional bad weather, including possible lightning and dipping temperatures, the Seahawks will not compete on Saturday's final day. "We made the decision due to safety concerns. We're excited around returning to action next weekend and continuing to build momentum at the Mount Olive meet," said UNCW Head Coach Jeff Klaves.
 
In action late Thursday, freshman Jesse Helton wound up 14th in the men's javelin with a throw of 153-4.
 
The Seahawks continue their outdoor schedule next weekend by taking part in the UMO Invitational on Apr. 14-15 at the Ray McDonald, Sr., Sports Complex.
