NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's track and field team showed up to Saturday's Yale's Last Chance Meet ready to chase down personal records on the way to qualify for NCAA First Round competition. To qualify, athletes have to have a result that ranks them in the top 48 best marks within the eastern region. Due to athletes "scratching" out of regionals because of an injury or choosing to compete in just one event, it is not immediately clear who the top 48 are, although they can expect to know within the next couple of days.

The Bulldogs:

• Captain Bella Bergloff finished fifth in the discus throw with a mark of 39.60m, while first year Emma Peretti set a personal record in the javelin with a massive throw of 24.10m and another in the shot put with a mark of 13.72m. Senior Maria Leskovec finished in second in the hammer. Leskovec was just off her personal record mark from last weekend with a throw of 51.96m.
• Senior Eileen Yang finished in second place in the pole vault with a mark of 3.62m, illustrating impressive consistency throughout this entire season. The long jump featured new faces, as sophomore Molly Harding earned second place with a personal record of 5.35m, while sophomore Makayla White finished third with a jump of 4.71m.
• First year Victoria Guerrier set a personal record in the 400m, finishing first in a time of 55.51 seconds.
• In the 800m, first years Kalista Villatoro and Daniella Henderson finished the season strong, both just seconds off their personal bests. The 1500m was also an exciting event to watch, as both Villatoro and Henderson doubled back to pace their teammates. Senior Kyra Pretre set a personal record and finished second in 4:24.36, while sophomore Linde Fonville ran 4:26.17, her fifth race under the 4:30 mark this season.
• Pretre also paced the first mile of the 5k. Sophomore Claire Archer ran a season's best time of 16:37.26, and sophomore Charlotte Whitehurst ran 17:26.55 after racing her first 10k just a week prior.

Up next:

• First year Gloria Guerrier will race the 400m hurdles in Fairfax, Va., at the ECAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Sunday. After that, there will be a break in competition before Bulldogs who have qualifying marks will fly to Lexington, Ky., to compete in the NCAA East First Round meet. The meet is set to take place May 23 and 25.
