More School Records Fall for Foresters at Don Church Twilight Meet

The Lake Forest College track and field teams traveled to Wheaton College on Thursday for the annual Don Church Twilight Meet.

Among the team's highlights were the fastest men's 100m, women's 3000m, and women's 400m hurdle times in program history. All three records were broken by the individuals who already owned then with junior Mason Wright finishing the 100 in 11.17 seconds, sophomore Lettia Hoda the 3000 in 10:41.97, and junior Jacquelyn Han the 400 hurdles in 1:10.25.

Hoda improved her record by nearly 16 seconds and turned in the team's top finish at the meet by placing second out of 20 competitors in the event. Fellow sophomore Sophie Graham was fourth in the same race and now ranks second in school history at 10:59.37. Han trimmed almost five seconds off her previous mark and finished eighth.

Senior Emmy Punches, the first Lake Forest woman to throw the javelin, was third out of 21 competitors with a toss of 31.24m (102' 6").

There were a pair of fourth-place finishes for the Forester men. Sophomore Ollie Francis earned one of them and his time of 1:55.53 in the 34-runner 800m was just a third of a second off his team record. Sophomore Michael Kasemervisz launched the shot put 14.43m (47' 4.25"), a distance surpassed by just three of the field's 21 throwers, and also finished ninth in the discus.

Senior Bart Brophy, who was just four places behind Francis with an 800m time of 1:59.99, finished fifth in the 1500m in 4:05.71. Sophomore Austin Hewes joined Francis and Brophy on Lake Forest's top-five list in the 800m with a time of 2:00.15.

The next meet on the Foresters' schedule is next Friday's Elmhurst Invitational, which will begin at 2:00 p.m.
