Raleigh, N.C.—The High Point University women's track and field team finished the first day of the Raleigh Relays Friday (March 24) in Raleigh, N.C.
 
In the high jump, senior Erika Bridges finished tied for 10th with a season-best height of 1.55m (5-1). Bridges also ran a 15.77 in the 100m hurdles, while junior CeAnna Soper posted a season-best 15.83.
 
In her first outdoor collegiate 5,000 meters, freshman Zoe Geis recorded a time of 18:04.33.
 
"Zoe engaged well this morning in the 5K," Esposito said. "It was a good experience for her, now we have to continue to get stronger so she can finish the job."
 
Senior Natalia Ocasio placed 20th in the 3,000m steeplechase in 10:55.03.
 
Junior Makenzi Holmes-DiGiovine finished 20th in the discus throw with a mark of 42.58m (139-8).
 
"Makenzi is struggling in the discus right now, it's kind of like when your golf swing goes away," Esposito said. "I have great confidence in both her and Coach (Scott) Hall that we will get this corrected and much better results will come.
 
"Now we have to regroup, keep grinding away and get ready for our home meet."
 
The Raleigh Relays conclude Saturday.
