Release Date: May 13, 2002
Monmouth College dominated this week’s Midwest
Conference Track Performers of the Week honors.
Senior
jumper C.J. Hollingsworth (Moreno Valley, Calif./Notre Dame) and sophomore
sprinter Ryan Moll (Farmington, Ill./HS) from the men’s team, were joined by
senior sprint specialist Constance Jackson (Peoria, Ill./Woodruff) and sophomore
Katy Healy (Hinsdale, Ill./Central) off the women’s squad.
Hollingsworth continued his fine spring, turning in a
season-best long jump of 21'11-1/4 at Coe Saturday to go with his best
triple jump of
the spring (44'4). He's ranked first in the conference in the triple jump, and his
efforts earned him a second and a third at the Coe meet.
Moll is recovering from an early-season injury in fine
fashion, and he hit his stride at Coe College over the weekend, placing second in the
200- and 400-meter dashes (22.36) and 49.39) and the 4x100 relay (42.53) and helping the
Scots win the 4x400 relay in 3:18.52. Moll's individual times moved him up to fifth in
the 200 and fourth in the 400 in the MWC rankings.
Jackson
is making a run to make her final month of collegiate track one to remember. The
All-American won the 100- and 200-meter dashes at Coe's Forest Rittgers Invitational in
season-best, near-automatic qualifying times of 12.24 and 24.84. In the 4x400, Jackson
ran the first leg so fast (55.6) that Monmouth was able to win the race by approximately
80 meters in 3:52.88, one of the best times in the nation this year.She also led off the
4x100
relay,
which posted a provisional time of 48.49.
Healy posted solid marks in three throwing events at
Coe College Saturday, including a third-place mark of 39'7-1/2 in the shot put which is
second-best in the MWC this season. She added a personal-best heave of 99'8-3/4 in the
javelin and 112'7 in the discus.
Monmouth is competing at Ripon, Wis., this weekend in
the MWC Track and Field Championships.
