Golden Eagles at Boston-Moon Saturday; Three also at Sea Ray Relays Friday
Three members of the Tennessee Tech women's track & field team will compete Friday at the Sea Ray Relays in Knoxville, then the entire team will be in Nashville Saturday for the Boston-Moon Classic at Tennessee State University.
COOKVEILLE, Tenn. -- Three members of the Tennessee Tech women's
track & field team will be in Knoxville Friday to compete in
the Sea Ray Relays, and the entire team will head to Nashville
Saturday for the Boston-Moon Classic hosted by Tennessee State
University. Coach Tony Cox plans to take a squad of 26 women plus
six men to the TSU event which begins Saturday at 9:30 a.m.
On Friday, juniors Madison Borden and Lacy Yslas -- the first and
last names on the team's alphabetical roster -- will compete in the
discus while sophomore Meghan O'Donoghue runs in the grueling
10,000-meter run. It will be her only chance to run in the long
distance event prior to the OVC Championships in early May.

At the Boston-Moon Classic, the six members of the men's cross
country team who will compete are scheduled to run in the
5,000-meter run. In the women's events, Tech has entries in every
event except the 100-meter hurdles and the hammer throw.
Among the Golden Eagles to watch at TSU will be Brittany Cotto in
the 400-meter hurdles, Emily Weinzetl [in photo above] in the 800m
and Rebecca Cline in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Cotto, a
sophomore from Sacramento, Calif., owns the fifth-best 400-meter
hurdle time in school history at 1:05.29, which she posted last
year at the OVC Outdoor Championships. Weinzetl, a senior from San
Antonio, ran an 800m career-best 2:23 last year at Austin Peay.
Cline, a sophomore from Spring Hill, Tenn., has run every distance
race in her young Golden Eagle career except the steeplechase.
