Last Time Out
Zoie Tesi's school-record performance in the high jump highlighted Navy's first dual meet of the season last weekend against Princeton at the Wesley A. Brown Field House. The women's team lost a 107-61 decision to the Tigers while the men's team won the final event to rally for an 89-89 tie.
Tesi etched her name into the record book with a clearance of 1.78 meters (5 feet, 10 inches) in the high jump, surpassing the previous mark of 1.77 meters (5-08.75) set by Hannah Lowenstein in 2023.
Tesi also captured the triple jump for a second-consecutive meet, posting a mark of 11.89 meters (39-0.25) on her final attempt. Sophia Notaro finished in second place at 11.36 meters (37-03.25), while Farrah Eike placed third with a jump of 10.54 meters (34-7).
Navy claimed first and second places in the women's 400 meters as Sophia Richter won the event in a time of 55.14 and Marrero followed in a time of 57.95. Richter's time currently ranks 18th on the NCAA Division I level.
Brian Schloeder recorded a winning height of 5.05 meters (16-07.75) to give the Mids a sweep of the top-three places in the men's pole vault. Schloeder was the lone competitor to clear five meters on the day.
