PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania track and field teams hosted the Big 5 meet on Saturday afternoon, taking victories in most events while Victoria Agyin scored a top five mark in program history.
 
Agyin had a great day at the long jump, clearing a distance of 5.90m to not only win the event, but also land herself fifth in program history.
 
She was joined by plenty of other Quakers with top marks for the meet.
 
On the women's side, Penn collected 10 wins in events. On the track, Shevell Higgs kicked things off with a top finish in the 100m hurdles with a time of 14.95. Isabella Whittaker collected two top times, winning the 200m (24.57) and the 400m (55.27). The 400m hurdles had the Quakers score the top four spots led by Skyla Wilson with a time of 1:00.73. In distance events, Zoe Shetty led the pack for much of the 1,500m race, cruising to a top time of 4:36.36. The track events were capped off with the 4x400m relay with Penn securing a first-place time of 3:52.64.
 
On the infield, Addie Renner and Claire Moreau took the top two spots in the high jump with clearances of 1.70m. Renner got it on her first attempt, earning her the win. At the pole vault, Abby Norwillo scored the victory with a new personal best mark of 3.81m holding her at eighth in program history.

In hurdles, Enoch Cheung earned the win at the 110 hurdles (14.85), while Antaures Jackson did the same in the 400 hurdles with a time of 55.07. In the 800m, Penn earned the top eight spots in the race led by Titus Bretzke (1:51.05) and Tim Dolan (1:51.95). Jared Cooper paced four Quakers for the top four spots in the 1,500m, clocking a time of 3:54.47 for the win. The track portion was wrapped up with a victory for Penn in the 4x400, crossing the line at 3:19.18.
 
On the infield, Jack Meigel took first in the high jump with a mark of 1.94m. Over at the pole vault, the Quakers earned the top two spots led by Benedikt Sachta with a clearance of 4.91m.
 
At throws, Penn earned several more victories. Cameron Landis (17.07m) and Olatide Abinusawa (16.07m) took the top two spots in the shot put, while Landis also landed a win at the discus with a throw of 50.61m.
