Charles breaks own record at Sea Rays Relays

Results

Rookie Jillena Decarteret's mark of 3.35m (10'11.75) was good for 18th overall amongst a field of 35 pole vaulters. The East Templeton, Mass. native has already recorded a trio of top-three performances this season.

On Wednesday evening, junior thrower Althea Charles broke her personal best with a sixth-place, ECAC-qualifying heave of 52.65m (172'9) in the hammer throw at the Sea Ray Relays. Charles won her flight by topping nine other competitors and beat out 29 throwers, overall. The West Orange, N.J. native previously owned the Huskies' third-best mark of all-time with a distance of 171'6 she set at the Husky Spring Open on March 20.

The remaining members of the women's track & field team will compete in three events tomorrow, including the Mason Spring Invitational, George Davis Invitational and Brown Invitational.
