UVA Wise Closes Regular Season with Record Performances at Centre Twilight Meet

DANVILLE, KY – The UVA Wise men's and women's track and field teams concluded their regular season at the Centre Outdoor Twilight Meet on April 17, hosted by Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. The meet served as a final competitive tune-up before the South Atlantic Conference Championships, and the Cavaliers responded with a high-output performance highlighted by multiple school records and consistent top-five finishes.

WOMEN'S RESULTS
- The women's squad showed range across sprints, hurdles, distance, and field events, producing a significant number of school-record performances.

- Jocie Aldrich was a central contributor, resetting two school records in the hurdles—15.81 in the 100m hurdles and 1:08.83 in the 400m hurdles—while also adding a runner-up finish in the triple jump (11.15m). Destiny Ansley-Cureton delivered a strong field performance with a school record leap of 5.51m (18-1) to place second in the long jump.
In the throws, Nia Rogers established a new school record in the hammer (45.11m), finishing third, and added a top-five finish in the shot put (12.03m).
