BOSTON, Mass. — The Big Green women's track and field traveled to Boston on Friday to compete in the Riverhawk Invitational at The Track at New Balance. Coming off a win last Saturday against Columbia and Yale, Dartmouth carried the momentum into a meet with tough competition and walked away with marks that established several athletes among the top of the Ivy League performance list.

The Big Green had four student-athletes finish in the top 10 of the 3000m run, including three of the top four. Madeleine Locher led the way, taking first in the event with a time of 9:28.41. Emily Levonas and Natalie Shapiro finished third and fourth with personal best times of 9:34.26 and 9:37.10. Caroline Livingston nabbed eighth after crossing the finish line at 9:56.30.

Kylee Bennett threw for a personal best mark of 16.04m in the weight throw to earn second in the event.

Jada Jones took second in the 400m race with a time of 55.60 and is now third on the Ivy League performance list.

Andie Murray won the 800m race with a time of 2:11.89. Finishing close behind in third was Annie Jackson, who crossed the finish line at 2:12.38. They both now sit third and fourth in the Ancient Eight in the event for the season thus far.

Esme Huh and Mia Compton-Engle took second and third, respectively, with times of 17:42.23 and 17:42.73.

Mariella Schweitzer earned a personal best time of 25.02 seconds in the 200m dash. Schweitzer also earned eighth in the long jump with a mark of 5.60m.

Bella Pietrasiewicz claimed second in the 1000m run with a time of 2:49.04. Pietrasiewicz now sits fifth in the Ivy League in the event. Also finishing in the top 10 was Julia Pye, who took eighth with a time of 2:58.17.

Maya Grudman and Ellison Weiner both finished in the top 10 of the pole vault after they both cleared 3.60m, which is a new personal best for Weiner.

Dartmouth is back in action next weekend with the Crimson Elite (Friday) and the Bruce Lehane Scarlet & White Invite (Saturday). Live results are available for both meets and the links can be found on the team's schedule page on DartmouthSports.com, the official website of Dartmouth Athletics.
