LEWISBURG, PA – The Johns Hopkins men's and women's track teams closed out a weekend at the Division I and II-heavy Bison Outdoor Classic at Bucknell on Sunday.  The Blue Jays got several strong performances on the women's side and a pair of personal bests from the men to highlight the day.
 
Junior Victoria Kadiri rolled to another first-place finish in the triple jump with a best leap of 12.82-meters (42'-0.75").  Kadiri's best jump was 21 inches better than runner-up Kaylah Britt of the University of Buffalo and three of her four jumps on the day would have earned her a first-place finish in the 41-person field.  Her winning mark is also a personal-best (outdoor) and currently ranks as the best jump in the nation this season.
 
Sophomore Lauren Phillips turned in an outstanding performance of her own in the 400-meter dash as she placed second in a field of 65 entries with a time of 55.46.  Phillips' time is the best of her career and the third-best time in the nation this season.
 
A pair of Blue Jay freshmen – Adriana Catalano and Isis Diaz – placed in the top 11 among 67 finishers in the 3,000-meter run.  Both competed in heat one with 40 entries and 30 finishers; Catalano was among the top six throughout the race and eventually placed fifth with a time of 10:11.30, while Diaz sat in the top 12 throughout and clocked in at 10:23.08.
 
On the men's side, the Blue Jays got a 17^th-place finish in the 100-meter dash in a field of 112 competitors from junior Conrad Say.  Say crossed the line in 10.82 seconds to better his previous career best of 10.88 seconds. 
 
In the 200-meter dash, sophomore Ahmed Elmogi clocked in with a personal-best time of 22.46.
 
Johns Hopkins will return to action on Saturday, April 22 when the Blue Jays co-host the Hopkins/Loyola Invitational.
