HANOVER, N.H. – For the fourth time this season, the Dartmouth women's indoor track & field team hosted a home meet. And for the fourth time in 2019-20, the Big Green won a home meet.

Inside Leverone Field House on Saturday, Dartmouth put on a dominating display with 216 points en route to the top team spot.

Williams (135) and UMass (104) were second and third, respectively, while Vermont and Merrimack tied for fourth with 27.5 points. This is the second time this season that the team has gone over the 200-point plateau as the Green and White also earned 211 points on Jan. 10 at the Dartmouth Relays.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Cha'Mia Rothwell was a two-event winner, claiming the victories in both the 60m hurdles as well as the long jump. In her hurdles races, Rothwell ran an 8.42 to qualify first in the preliminaries, before running an 8.40 in the final to take 10 points. The second-place runner in the final was seven-tenths of a second back.
The long jump saw the senior post a 5.89m on her final attempt of the day, a mark that more than a foot better than the next-best competitor.
Junior Lily Lockhart cruised to victory in the shot put (13.56m) and weight throw (16.92m) for another two-win showing this season.
Folasade Akinfe dominated the triple jump with a 12.04m, a 10-point leap that was two feet better than anyone else.
Julia Valenti once again was the top pole vaulter, claiming the victory with a 3.90m height to her credit.
Breanna Glover (2.55.01) and Corinne Robitaille (2:56.40) went one-two in the 1000m with each earning lifetime PR's in the event.
Another event that went one-two for the Big Green was the 800m that saw Isabelle Giordano (2:15.79) and Anya Hirschfeld (2:16.04) combined for 18 points.
Mallory Barnes won the 200m in 26.03, while Michelle Quinn was third in 26.32.
