CLINTON, N.Y. – The Castleton women's track and field team saw several athletes claim top-10 finishes in Saturday's Hamilton Outdoor Invitational, with the day highlighted by Shay Lawrence topping her own program record in the 200-meter race.
 
Danielle Solomon kicked off Saturday's events with her second straight first-place finish in the pole vault, clearing 2.30 meters on her first attempt. Also performing well in the jumps was Taylor Ross, who finished in 13^th in the long jump before claiming ninth place in the triple jump with a leap of 9.58 meters.
 
On the track, Amber Cuthbert got things started with a 10^th-place finish in the 1500-meter run, ending her day finishing in sixth in the 800-meter, crossing the line in 2:39.84. Following Cuthbert's lead, Lawrence also earned a pair of top-10 finishes, claiming eighth in the 100-meter sprint before breaking her own program record en route to a seventh-place finish in the 200-meter.
 
Where the Spartans had the most success, however, was in the throwing events, where Luna Perry-St. Peter and Isabell Lanfear continued their impressive starts to the season. Lanfear, Layne Cronin, and Perry-St. Peter began their day placing in 15^th, 17^th, and 18^th respectively, before the freshmen duo finished second and third in the javelin throw.
 
In just her second meet, Perry-St. Peter cleared 31.34 meters while Lanfear finished just behind with a throw of 30.88, making them the highest placing Spartans on the day.
 
Castleton returns to action next Saturday, April 8 to compete in the Vermont Quad Meet, with events set to begin at 12 p.m.
