Metro roundup: Fife makes top-10 finish in USA Championships

staff report

Eugene, Ore. — Indiana State graduate Jordan Fife placed ninth Saturday in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the USA Track and Field Championships at Oregon’s Hayward Field.

Fife ran a time of 8 minutes, 48.16 seconds representing Team Indiana Elite. The winner, Josh McAdams, ran 8:29.91.

Indiana State junior Lauren Martin placed 13th overall in the women’s triple jump Friday, just missing a trip to the finals with a leap of 42-feet, 6-inches.

Martin was the second highest placing collegian in the field, topped by Kansas State’s Tiara Walpoo (43-1 3/4), which tied for ninth.

“[Martin] was really disappointed in not making the finals,” John Gartland, Indiana State women’s track and field coach, said. “But she did finish as one of the top nine women triple jumpers in the United States and that is quite an accomplishment.”

Martin was one of two current Sycamores in competition on Friday as freshman Sarah Snapp also competed in the USA Junior Outdoor Championships in the 100 meter hurdles, finishing 15th overall with a time of 14.75.

“It was not one of her best races but she competed against a very outstanding field and the experience will serve her well as she continues to compete for Indiana State,” Gartland said.

Also in competition were former Sycamores Fife and Aubrey Herring.

Fife, the ISU record holder in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, placed 12th in the preliminaries Thursday.

Herring, the ISU record holder in the 110-meter high hurdles, placed 12th in the first round with a time of 13.45.

Kylie Hutson will compete in the women’s pole vault and sophomore Major Clay in the men’s high jump, both today.

    I got a letter last week from a friend, Sister Margaret Quinlan, who lives amidst the beauty of the St. Mary-of-the-Woods campus. Besides the email space and the time she invests in describing the flowers and trees and birds that she shares with her roomies out there, as well as her accounts of teaching and traveling, Margaret most often writes about books. She loves them, and she knows I do, too.
