Thornton-Fillyaw Breaks Own 800 Record at Hopkins/Loyola Invitational

BALTIMORE - Sophomore Tanise Thornton-Fillyaw of the Goucher College women's track and field team broke her own program record in the women's 800-meter run on Saturday to highlight the Hopkins/Loyola Invitational.

Thornton-Fillyaw took first place with a time of 2:11.02, breaking her own mark of 2:12.23 set at last season's Landmark Conference championship.  She also finished just 0.30 seconds shy of the Landmark record of 2:10.72 set by Moravian's Carly Danoski in 2018.  Thornton-Fillyaw's time is currently No. 7 in NCAA Division III.

Ray Asiedu finished 11th in the women's 100 with a time of 12.71 seconds.  Senior Lydia Bailey had a season-best throw of 32.80 meters in the women's hammer throw.

Aidan Kress placed No. 7 in the men's triple jump with a mark of 13.18 meters, and was 12th in the long jump at 6.05 meters.
