Wesleyan Record Setters

Records aren’t broken every day, but this year has seen new marks set in track and field. Just last week,  Andrew McCracken ’19 took home first place in the pole vault with his mark of 4.40m,  and Kiley Kennedy ’16 won the pole vault with a mark of 3.45m. Both are school record holders.

Here’s an older photo of Kiley setting a record:

Christina Hebner ’17 holds the record in 3000 meter steeple chase and Alexis Walker ’16 holds the record in the 60. Alexis is also our long jump record holder. Sydney Cogswell ’16, Nikita Rajgopal ’17, Aida Julien ’18, and Aidan Bardos ’17 hold the fall 4×100 record, while Melissa Luning ’15, Ananya Subrahmanian ’18, Ellie Martin ’16, and Sarah Swenson ’18 hold the outdoor 4×400 standard.

Agbon Edomwonyi ’16 holds school records throwing the shot and the weight. I’ve gotten to know Agbon as a student in two of my classes, and it was a pleasure to watch him throw this past weekend. His mother took this pic last weekend at the J. Elmer Swanson Invitational.

Our track team will be in Amherst this coming weekend for the NESCAC Championships. Maybe some more records will fall!
