COMPLETE RESULTS

Sophomore Manika Gamble set the High Point University record in the 100-meter hurdles as the women's track & field team competed in the final day of the Wake Forest Open on Saturday in Winston-Salem, N.C.

"Manika had really good performances in both hurdle events," said HPU head coach Mike Esposito. "Obviously getting the school record in the 100 hurdles was a big step, and two of the women who beat her in the 400 hurdles were national qualifiers last year. Those are the types of people she'll have to beat to make the national championship in the future. It was great to have Amber Donnelly back throwing the javelin after elbow surgery last year. She threw cautiously and still qualified for the finals."

Gamble placed fourth in the finals of the 100-meter hurdles with a career-best and HPU best time of 13.96 seconds. That broke the HPU record of 14.11 set by Jasmine Jones-Green in 2007. Gamble came back later in the afternoon and placed fourth in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:00.85, just 0.05 out of third place in the event.

Senior Amber Donnelly made her season debut in the javelin, placing eighth with a throw of 124-2. Sophomore Christina Fenske took 13th in the high jump, clearing 5-0.25. Sophomore Joy Hunt finished 25th in the discus with a throw of 107-3 and freshman Lynee Pina took 34th with a throw of 97-7.

In the 200-meter dash, Lora Robinson placed 72nd in the field of 141 with a time of 26.67. Erin Lonon placed 105th in 27.38, Gabrielle Barnes won her heat and placed 109th overall with a time of 27.57 and Emma Tobin took 126th in 28.60. Lonon also competed in the 400-meter hurdles an hour earlier, placing fourth in her heat and 18th overall in a time of 1:06.66.

Also on the track, freshman Dani Paul took 12th in her heat and 55th overall in the 1,500-meter with a time of 5:00.91.

On the first day of the meet on Friday, HPU's top two finishers came in the 3,000-meter as Geneva Winterink took eighth in 10:31.57 and Emily Webb came in 14th in 10:42.79.

Next weekend, High Point University will compete in the adidas Raleigh Relays at NC State in Raleigh, N.C.
