LIVE RESULTS | MEET SCHEDULE | RECTOR FIELD HOUSE

The High Point University women's track & field team is set to compete in the Big South Indoor Championship this weekend. The two-day event will be held in the Rector Field House in Blacksburg, Va. on Friday and Saturday.

The Panthers are looking to improve on last year's sixth-place finish at the Big South Indoor Championship.

The 2014 indoor season has been a very successful one for HPU, especially in the field events where the Panthers set records in the weight throw and pole vault.

Sophomore Alyssa Palenchar currently holds the HPU pole vaulting record with a clearance of 3.65 meters (11-11.75) at the Tar Heel Open in January. Palenchar's mark ranks second in the Big South this season and broke Jill Marois' previous school record of 3.45 meters (11-3.75), which she set earlier in the year at the Virginia Tech Invitational. Marois' vault ranks sixth in the conference this season.

Freshman Jenny Mara ranks third with her season-best mark of 1.65 meters (5-5) in the high jump at the Virginia Tech Invite.

On the track, High Point holds the second best mark of the season in the DMR. The team of Lilla Lorand, Katie Farina, Cozette Collin and Natalia Ocasio finished with a time of 12:27.01 in the event at the HPU Team Challenge. Collin also ranks near the top in the 800-meter along with senior Audrey Malloy. Malloy ran a team season-best and career-best 2:19.11 in the event last week while Collin crossed in 2:19.38 at the Hilton Garden Invitational. Lorand holds the Panthers' best marks in the 200- and 400-meter events and Farina has HPU's fastest mile of the season.

Elsewhere, sophomore Julia Zautcke holds the fifth best time in the 5,000-meter in 17:56.95 at the Hilton Garden Invitational. She also placed in the top ten in the 3,000-meter.

The championship meet is set to begin with the pentathlon at 10:30 a.m. on Friday. The next event scheduled for Friday is the 60-meter hurdles at 3:10 p.m. Saturday's event's will begin at 11 a.m. with the high jump.
