ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Macalester College women’s track & field team will compete in the MIAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships May 9-10 on its home track at Macalester Stadium. The field events begin at 2:00 p.m. on Friday and at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, while the track events start at 2:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., respectively.

Several Scots are expected to score with top-8 performances, led by first year Ariella Rogahn-Press (Albuquerque, N.M./Bosque School). An All-American and the MIAC Rookie of the Year indoors, Rogahn-Press has the fastest 400-meter time in the MIAC and the second-ranked time in Division III this season. Her time of 54.30 at the Georgia Tech Invitational on April 19 also is the 23rd-fastest time ever run by a Division III competitor. Rogahn-Press also ranks second in the MIAC in the 200 meters, and she helped the Scots’ 4×400-meter relay team of senior Anna Warren (St. Louis, Mo./Marquette), junior Hadley Wilkins (St. Louis, Mo./Whitfield School) and first year Megan Worry (Menlo Park, Calif./Notre Dame) run the MIAC’s fourth-fastest time of 4:04.68.

Others who are expected to contribute on the track include Wilkins who is seeded fifth in the 800 meters, first year Kate Fox (Seattle, Wash./Roosevelt), who is seeded eighth in the 1500 meters, first year Claire Beckley (Carlisle, Mass./Concord Carlisle), who is seeded ninth in the 100 meters, and sophomores Ivy Coldren (Frederick, Md./Urbana) and Samantha Ellis (Intervale, N.H./Gould Academy), who are seeded eighth and ninth in the 5000 meters, respectively. The Scots’ 4×100-meter relay team of Rogahn-Press, junior Roen Boyd (Minneapolis, Minn./South), sophomore Seneca Wilson (Durango, Calif./Durango) and Beckley ranks fifth in the MIAC.

The Macalester contingent in the field events is led by sophomore Jessica Lin (Bedford, Mass./Bedford), who has broken the school record in the hammer throw three times this season. She currently ranks fifth in the MIAC with a toss of 49.31 (161-9). Sophomore Brooke Boroughs (Monroe, Wash./Monroe) has the third-best mark in the javelin with a toss of 36.84 (120-10).
