BLACKSBURG, Va.—The High Point University women's track and field team finished action on the first day of the Virginia Tech Challenge Friday evening (Feb. 17) at Rector Field House in Blacksburg, Va.
 
In the pole vault, senior Madison Depner and freshman Rachel Berndsen both cleared 3.20m (10-6) to finish fourth and fifth, respectively. The height is a season-best mark for Berndsen.
 
Sophomore Makenzi Holmes-DiGiovine placed sixth in the weight throw with a season-best mark of 15.43m (50-7.5), while senior Jamie Schnuck was seventh with a throw of 15.34m (50-4).
 
Senior Erika Bridges ran a personal-best time in the 60m hurdles in 9.40. Bridges also hit a mark of 5.25m (17-2.75), while senior Amanda Gregory recorded a leap of 5.20m (17-0.75).

"Erika Bridges had a good double in the long jump and hurdles, which sets her up for the conference multi," High Point head coach Mike Esposito said. "It was good getting Amanda Gregory back on the runway. After three weeks of injury, she shook off some rust and should be ready to go for conference champs. Makenzi Holmes-DiGiovine had a breakthrough in the weight."
 
The action continues Saturday with field events set to start at 11 a.m. and track events scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
