NAVY INDOOR TRACK: Senior distance runner Mary Cate Scully shined with a personal-best and ECAC-qualifying time in the 5,000-meter run as the Navy women's track and field team went 7-0 at the Navy Lid Lifter Thursday night at the Wesley A. Brown Field House.

Scully opened up the running events with a personal-best and ECAC-qualifying time of 17:21.15 in the 5,000-meter run. The Fairfax Station, Virginia, native shaved off a full 11 seconds off her previous best mark to place first in the event.

As Scully impressed on the track in the first track event, junior Charlene Kearns and sophomore Rosemary Brinegar recorded ECAC-qualifying pole vault marks in the first field event. Kearns and Brinegar both crossed over the 11ft-11.75in (3.65m) mark, but Kearns was able to leap over the pole in her first try to garner first-place. Brinegar improved her freshman mark by a full 10 inches.
