TOUGH COMPETITION: When the Miami women's track and field team travels to the Clemson Invitational this weekend, it will follow the trend that Miami teams continually set of competiting against the nation's top competition heading into the Mid-American Conference season. On Saturday at Rock Norman Track in Clemson, S.C., Miami will challenge the very tough Clemson and Iowa State squads along with Appalachian State, Charlotte and East Carolina.
The RedHawks are no stranger to tough competition. During the past two weekends, Miami has sent competitiors to some of the nation's top meets; the Alabama Relays and the Adidas Raleigh Relays. Some of Miami's other runners competed in the Ball State Relays in place of the Adidas Raleigh Relays last weekend.
KING KREMER: Junior Andrea Kremer posted a new personal record in the 5,000-meter run at the Adidas Raleigh Relays at North Carolina State as she placed fifth out of over 150 runners with a time of 16:35.00. Only one other collegiate runner beat Kremer as she easily past the NCAA Regional Qualifying time on her way to setting her own personal record and giving Miami the second fastest time in school history behind former all-American, Molly Cullen.
NICE START: The RedHawks got the season off to a great start last weekend with many solid performances to help Miami place third out of 23 schools at the prestigious Alabama Relays.
-Junior Bernitta Johnson became only the second Miami athlete to surpass 41 feet in the triple jump to finish second for her personal-best mark.
-Junior Andrea Kremer placed first in the 5000-meter run with an NCAA Regional qualifying time of 16:49.98, almost 20 seconds faster than the second finisher.
