ITHACA, N.Y. – The Dartmouth women's track & field team finished eighth at the 2020 Ivy League Heptagonal Indoor Championship Sunday at Cornell's Barton Hall.

The highlight of the meet was senior Cha'Mia Rothwell winning the 60m hurdles for the fourth straight to become the third woman in league history to accomplish the feat.

Penn edged out Harvard, 133-126, for the team title. The Big Green finished with 38.5 points over the two-day competition.

HIGHLIGHTS
•   Rothwell ran a season-best 8.31 in Sunday's final to once again win the event crown. She joins Penn's Christelle Williams (1986-89) and Harvard's Autumne Franklin (2013-16) as only the third woman to claim the 60mH Ivy title four times in as many years.
•   For Rothwell, it also marked her sixth career Heps indoor championship after also claiming the long jump title twice (2017 and 2018).
•   Camille Landon was third in the high jump and earned six points thanks to clearing 1.73m on her second attempt.
•   Dartmouth also had a third-place finish and six points in the 800m as Claire Dougherty ran a 2:10.66, less than a second back of the winning time.
•   In the 4x800m, Dartmouth's Arianna Gragg, Anya Hirschfeld, Lauren Archer and Dougherty ran a 9:03.66 to finish fourth and earn four points.
