Golf Finishes Last at Invite

By |

For months I have been waiting to get back to my roots: sunscreen, shorts and sandals. Unfortunately, the weather of the East Coast is not quite ready to allow my pale feet to be seen in public or to be kind to the struggling Cornell golf team. The Red finished last in a field of 14 at the weather-shortened Princeton Invitational in Princeton, N.J., over the weekend. The field consisted of several Ancient Eight opponents including Yale, Penn, Columbia, Princeton and Harvard, thereby giving the Red a chance to see where it stands among the competitive Ivy League.

By |

The golf team traveled to Maryland over the weekend for the Towson University Invitational. Without its top golfer, sophomore Matt Jaye, due to an injury suffered in the offseason, Cornell sent a young team out onto the course at Towson. Junior Robert Cronheim led sophomores Dan Bosse and Ben Myer, while freshmen Alex Lavin and Alex Simson rounded out the Red’s roster for its first invitational of the spring season.
The team finished 14th in a field of 17, while Cronheim led the Red individually — he placed ninth among 90 golfers in the field.

Junior distance runner Pete Loy, senior thrower Erik Roneker and many members of the men’s track team didn’t make it to this weekend’s competition at the Penn State Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup in College Station.

The Harvard Select meet was held in Cambridge, Mass. this past weekend, and the track and field teams showed why they are two of the top squads in the Ivy League. The women, scoring 181 points on Saturday, took first place over opponents Brown, Harvard and New Hampshire.
The women are off to a strong start this season, taking first place in both scored meets this season. For the second week in a row, Red standout senior Jeomi Maduka won the long jump, triple jump and 60-meter dash to continue her outstanding season.

Men’s, Women’s Track Excel in Upstate Challenge

By |

In the first scored meet of the season, the men’s and women’s track and field teams shined, taking first place in the Upstate Challenge.
Buffalo took second on the weekend, but on the women’s side it wasn’t much of a struggle. The Red handled the competition easily this weekend, posting 294 points, with second-place Buffalo far behind at 115 points.
Senior Jeomi Maduka proved once again how far she could take her team. Maduka posted a NCAA-leading 21-9 in the long jump, a feat that was also good enough to break her own Ivy League record in the event. But that was not all for Maduka at the Upstate Challenge; she also won the triple jump (42-11 ½) and 60-m dash in 7.55 seconds. Maduka, however, realizes that there is always room for improvement.

Harriers Play Host

Fresh off a strong showing at the Penn State Open, the Red will host Northeast foes Buffalo, Colgate, Cortland, Ithaca College and Syracuse in the Upstate Challenge, the Red’s first scored meet of the season. However, the Red is looking at this meet just like any other.
“What our record may be going into the Championship part of the season really doesn’t matter, what matters is are we ready to go at that time,” women’s head coach Lou Duesing said. “If you’re going to be ready at that time you need to be doing the right things along the way, whether it is a scored meet or not a scored meet.”
