Villanova Women are Mere "Also Rans" in Penn Relays DMR || Dropped Baton and Slow Start Doom Women's DMR Bid
The Villanova women were beaten thoroughly in today's Penn Relays DMR. Talk of breaking the DMR world record proved to be foolish, as the Villanova quartet of Emily Lipari, Christie Verdier, Ariann Neutts, and Sheila Reid were out of the race early and never threatened. Burdened with high expectations and running what was at bottom a home meet, Villanova was 8+ seconds back and in 11th place after the opening leg, and were dead last after the 400 meter second leg as Christie Verdier dropped the baton early in her leg. At that point the air was out of the balloon. Villanova ultimately finished 13th of 14 teams, a full 34 seconds slower than the 10:52.52 that won this year's NCAA indoor title. Georgetown ran a superlative race and won by almost 5 seconds over Tennessee.
