Rider at Gotham Cup

NEW YORK, NY—The Broncs competed in the New York City Gotham Cup at the 168th St. Armory Friday.
“Even though Jazmine (Fenlator) is only a junior, she leads by example,” said head coach Rob Pasquariello. “She has a great work ethic and no matter the size of the meet or the level of competition, her teammates know that she will place at the top of her events and that motivates them to achieve more.”
“On the men’s side, we are still in the process of putting the right kids in the right events,” said Pasquariello. “After the layoff due to exams, we had a tough week of practice the last week and that made for a successful meet and gets us on track for the upcoming conference championships.”
For the Rider women, junior Jazmine Fenlator (Wayne, N.J./Wayne Valley) won the shot put (13.75m) and the weight throw (54’5.5”) to qualify for ECAC’s in both events. Senior Krystle Daniels (Brooklyn, N.Y./South Shore) was second in the weight throw with an ECAC qualifying throw of 53’2.25”. Sophomore Savannah Knox (Jackson, N.J./Jackson Memorial) placed third in the 800m (2:24.35), freshman Tabatha Haskins (Medford/Shawnee) placed fourth in the triple jump (11.47m), senior Mechea Medine (Pittstown/Delaware Valley) placed fifth in the long jump (5.52m), senior Carla Wynter (Roselle, N.J./Abraham Clarke) placed fifth in the 400m (58.83), and freshman Kelly Kajunski (Glenmore, Pa./Downington East ) and junior Katie O’Connor (Forked River/Lacey Twp.) tied for sixth in the high jump (1.60m).
