Holy Family University Women’s Track & Field Sets Three NCAA Provisionals, Four School Records at Widener Invitational
Kenisha Greenwood (Jamaica) and Shania Le Maitre (Champs Fleurs, Trinidad & Tobago/Holy Name Convent) broke their own school records with NCAA provisionals, while making up half of the 4x400m relay team that also set a school record with an NCAA provisional at the Widener Invitational over the weekend.
Greenwood now ranks second in all of Division II in the 400m hurdles after clocking in at 59.53 to top a field of 26, while those finishing ahead of Le Matire in the top five in the 800m included three Division I runners as she further distanced herself atop the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) with a time of 2:11.70 in the field of 98.
Those two then combined with Nyoki Jones (Jersey City, N.J./Snyder) and Ariel Salkey (Queens, N.Y./Francis Lewis) to break a near 11-year-old school record, 3:49.03, to beat out 15 other foursomes.

- Julia Lloyd (Middletown, Del./Appoquinimink) (46:00.27) and Ashley Fisgaer (Philadelphia, Pa./Bensalem) (collegiate PR) 49:33.68) ran CACC standards in the 10000m, with Lloyd winning bronze in the field of nine
- Korryn Braxton-Young (Newark, Del./Hodgson Vo-Tech) (11.81m) and Samaria Ward (Upper Marlboro, Md./Largo) (10.67m) both marked at CACC standards in the shot put to place in the top 16 out of 50, with Braxon-Young finishing fourth
- Braxton-Young also marked at a CACC standard and collegiate PR, 31.67, to place in the top-half of the discus field of 30
- Turner placed sixth after marking at a CACC standard of an outdoor collegiate PR in 5.04m in long jump, with Hager Khowessa (Philadelphia, Pa./New Foundations) (4.49m) joining her in the top-half of the field
