NEW YORK – Sophomore Sage Hendershot won the long jump to lead the Drew University women's track & field team in its indoor season opener – the TCNJ Indoor Opener – on Saturday at The Armory.
 
The meet kicked off the second year of varsity competition for the Rangers.
 
An all-region long jumper during both the indoor and outdoor seasons last year, Hendershot soared 5.44 meters (17-10 1/4) to beat out 19 other competitors while smashing her own indoor school record of 5.27 meters.
 
Hendershot ended up lowering her own school record in two additional events as well, including a fifth-place finish in a field of 54 in the 60-meter dash. She was timed at 8.02 in the final, but her time of 7.93 in prelims was a program-best. In addition, she finished 16th in a field of 43 in the 300-meter dash (43.10).
 
 Junior Emily Camlet also turned in an outstanding performance for the Rangers, placing second in an overall field of 20 in the 400-meter dash. An all-region performer in the 400 during last year's outdoor season, she was timed at 58.86 to finish just 0.52 seconds behind the race winner.
 
A pair of Rangers finished fourth – freshman April Kusnier, who was timed at 5:42.36 while competing in a field of 12 in the mile, and classmate Lauryn Brown, who posted a mark of 10.62 meters (34-10 1/4) in a field of 10 in the long jump.
 
Sophomore Sarah Hattan added a fifth-place finish in the mile, running 5:51.27.
 
Three additional program records were bettered on Saturday, including two from sophomore Lauren Rizzolo. She heaved the shot put 9.20 meters (30-2 1/4) while also recording a toss of 10.37 meters (34- 1/4) in the weight throw. Also, the 4x400-meter relay team of Camlet, Brown, Hendershot, and Hattan were timed at 4:16.69.
 
The Rangers continue their season on Friday, when they travel to the Wagner College Seahawk Shootout at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island, N.Y.
