UD indoor track records set by Riley, relay team

Pat Riley
10:47 a.m., March 8, 2004--University of Delaware senior Patrick Riley set a school record and finished 12th in the 5,000-meter run at the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes in America (IC4A) and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) regional indoor meet held during the weekend at the Reggie Lewis Track and Field Center in Boston.

Also at the meet, the UD women's 4x400-meter relay team established a school record in the preliminaries and finished in eighth place in the finals.

The meet was the final indoor competition of the year for both UD teams.

Riley was the top finisher for the UD men’s team as he finished 12th in the 5,000 meters, running a school record time of 14:35.18. Dave Geesaman set the former record of 14:39.19 in 1998.

UD’s Roger Brown finished 17th in the 55 meters (6.56), and Jerome Holder finished 23rd in the 55-meter hurdles (7.93).

The men’s 4x400 meter relay team of Holder, Charlie Williams, Andrew Cox and Phil Smiley finished 22nd in a time of 3:18.75, less than one second off the school record set in 1973.

UD earned its only point of the weekend in the women's competition when the 4x400 relay team of Kristen Frustillo, Tyechia Smith, Brittany Wright and Mandy Stille finished eighth in a time of 3:51.39. The team broke the school record set earlier this season with a time of 3:50.27 in the preliminaries Saturday.

The eighth place finish, which earns the relay team All-East recognition, was the highest for the UD women’s team at the ECAC indoor championships since the 2000 season when Annemarie Quinn finished sixth in the high jump.

Also for the UD women, Casey Bennett was 14th in the pole vault, Stille was 14th in the long jump (17 feet, 11-1/2 inches) and Smith was 19th in the 400 meters (58.17).
