Meet Report: Miami Hurricane Invitational

A strong contingent of Villanova athletes traveled to Coral Gables, Florida over the weekend to compete in the Miami Hurricane Alumni Invitational. All told, a dozen Big East qualifying times were achieved. Perhaps the most noteworthy marks on the men's side were (1) the 6'10.75" high jump PR by Elbert Maxwell and (2) the 1:49.04 PR by Sam Ellison. Maxwell's leap set a new PR and placed him at #56 on the NCAA outdoor performance list. Sam Ellison ran a 1:49.04 PR over 800 meters, a time that places him at #30 on the NCAA outdoor performance list for 2012.

On the women's side, Samantha Yeats equaled her PR in the high jump (5'10"), which places her at #17 on the 2012 NCAA outdoor performance list. Christie Verdier's 54.06 in the 400 meters has her in the top 50 (#46) on the NCAA list as well.
