April 19, 2008 BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The Navy women's track and field team had strong performances in the field events to lift the Mids to a strong showing at the Greyhound Invitational on Saturday afternoon. The meet featured 16 teams and there was no team scoring. "We had a pretty good day, especially in our field events," said Navy head coach Carla Criste. "I was happy with the way our underclassmen stepped up today and competed. Janet Voneiff had a strong performance in the shot up and we had four of the top five in the discus. It was a strong showing." Voneiff was Navy's lone event winner, coming in the shot put. Voneiff led a 1-2-6-7 Navy finish with a heave of 40-6.25.

Navy also posted strong performances in the hammer throw as Mia Blundetto was second with a throw of 151-2 and Meaghan Joyce was third at 151-0. Navy's last runner-up finish in the field events came from Jackie Charnigo in the pole vault at 11-11.75. Jessica Shlaegel was also sixth at 10-11.75. The Mids also pieced together a 3-4 finish in the triple jump, led by Gloria Hill's leap of 36-8.25. Katie Berkey was fourth with a jump of 36-5.75. Berkey also finished sixth in the high jump at 5-1.75. Navy had five top-six performances on the track led by the 4x400-meter relay team of Joanna Clark, Chelsea Chlebo, Abigail Gesecki and Jessica Orr. The quartet finished second with a time of 4:01.60. Navy's "B" team of Angelique Martin of Ashley Waddle, Gloria Hill and Lauren Burmeister was fifth in 4:07.60.
