PRINCETON, N.J. – The University of Pennsylvania track and field teams wrapped up the regular-season slate on Saturday at the Princeton Elite Invitational, taking four victories while moving up in the record book in several events.
 
On the women's side, the Quakers earned victories on both the track and on the infield.
 
Skyla Wilson led a group of three Quakers in the 400m hurdles, taking first place with a time of 58.61. She was closely followed by Haley Rizek in third with a new PR that holds her at third in program history with 58.93. Aliya Garozzo took fourth with a time of 59.92.
 
Isabella Whittaker took third in the 400m with a time of 55.04, while Bronwyn Patterson took eighth in a stacked field for the 800m, clocking a time of 2:06.00 to move into third in program history.
 
On the infield, Tamara Grahovac earned a victory in the triple jump, landing at 12.40m (40-8.25). At the high jump, Claire Moreau and Addie Renner took second and third, respectively, with clearances of 1.71m (5-7.25). At the pole vault, Nataliia Ilieva earned fourth place with a height of 3.86m (12-8), while Abby Norwillo took sixth at 3.71m (12-2). Mayyi Mahama took third in the hammer throw, tossing 59.74m (196-0).
 
The men also collected a pair of victories. Cameron Landis earned first in the shot put, tossing 16.90m (55-5.5). James Rhoads also took first in the pole vault, clearing 5.30m (17-4.5).
 
The Quakers grabbed a handful of top five finishes as well. Elijah Cook took third in the javelin with a throw of 57.70m (189-4). At the high jump, Conrad Moore led the Quakers with a third-place finish, clearing 2.09m (6-10.25) while Mark Anselmi took fifth at 2.05m (6-8.75).
