FREDERICK, Md.--The Hood College men and women’s track and field teams have had 18 top-six performances in the Capital Athletic Conference this season, two of which have been league-best times.

The Blazers have two weeks to prepare for the CAC Championships at York College (Pa.), where the top six performances will earn points towards the team scores.

The Hood women have two runners who own the top times in the conference. Freshman Jessica Parrish holds the fastest 100-meter dash (12.87) and junior Danielle Sgro ran a conference best 42:20.90 in the 10000 meters. Parrish also ranks second in the long jump, with a leap of 15’ 5.5’’.

Also for the Blazers, freshman Lauren Smith ran a fifth-best 3000 steeplechase (12:45.00), while Hood’s 4x100 meter relay team finished with a third-best 54.59 and the 4x400 relay squad ran a fourth-best 5:11.80.

In the hammer throw, freshman Kayla Murphy owns the fourth-best mark with a toss of 87’ 0’’. Sophomore Erica Hamor ranks third in the CAC in the javelin (87’3’’), and freshman Natashia Matos ranks fourth (80’11’’) in that event. All of the women’s team’s performances came against Mary Washington on March 29.
