MAHWAH, N.J. – The Drew University women's track & field team turned in an impressive showing in its outdoor debut, highlighted by four runner-up performances on Friday and Saturday at the Ramapo College Invitational.
 
The Rangers, competing in their first season as a varsity program, finished eighth out of 16 teams who scored a point.
 
Sophomore Kate Rice led the Rangers with second-place finishes in both the 1,500- and 5,000-meter runs. In the 1,500 on Saturday, she beat out 28 competitors while clocking a time of 4:58.66 – just three seconds behind event winner Clodagh McGroary of Division I Fordham University. On Friday, Rice cruised the 5K in 18:12.16, some 42 seconds in front of the third-place finisher.
 
Senior Melina Christodoulou and freshman Sage Hendershot also placed second in one event apiece. Christodoulou cleared 5-3 3/4, placing behind only a jumper from Fordham, while Hendershot took second among 29 competitors in the long jump (17-11).
 
The Rangers scored points in five additional individual events by placing among the top-eight, including a sixth-place finish among 43 competitors from sophomore Emily Camlet in the 200-meter dash (25.78). Hendershot added a seventh-place showing in a field of 35 in the 100-meter dash (13.34, 12.91 prelims) while Christodoulou was also seventh in the triple jump (33-8).
