At the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational, the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's track and field team showcased impressive performances, highlighted by Hope Dragseth's victory in the 5000 meters and Sophia Laudi's first-place finish in the javelin. Their efforts contributed to a strong overall showing for the Athenas at the meet held on April 12.
On the men's side, Ellis DelVecchio and Jack Paavola also made notable contributions, with DelVecchio securing second place in the 800 meters with a time of 1:50.13 and Paavola finishing second in the discus throw with a distance of 152 feet, 10 inches. Additionally, Evan Siegel made history by moving into eighth place in CMS program history for the decathlon, accumulating 5,809 points at the Bryan Clay Multis held on April 11-12.
In softball, the Athenas faced a challenging weekend against the No. 7 ranked University of Redlands. Despite competitive outings in all three games, CMS fell short in each contest, unable to secure a win against the Bulldogs. The close battles underscored the resilience of the Athenas, but ultimately resulted in a hard-fought sweep for Redlands. The team will look to regroup and prepare for their next series, aiming to capitalize on their competitive spirit shown this past weekend.
