Panthers Conclude Day Two at UAB Meet

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — After two days of competition, the Georgia State track and field teams concluded participation in the UAB Blazer Invitational indoor meet Friday evening.

This is the second meet of the indoor season for the Panthers, who competed at the Orange and Purple meet in Clemson, S.C. on Dec 3, 2011. It is also the first of three indoor meets being held at the Birmingham CrossPlex facility.

Several Panther distance runners placed within the top ten in their respective events. Sophomore Jennifer Rubel finished third and junior Alison Bishop finished seventh in the women's 5,000m race.

In the women's mile, senior Danyel Mitchell placed sixth, with freshman Hannah Stefanoff placing eighth. Senior Chris Harper placed third in the men's mile and teammate Julian Black came in sixth.

The Georgia State distance medley relay teams also fared well. The women's team of Stefanoff, Niamh Kearney, Brandy Swann and Katharine Showalter placed third in the event.

During the second day of competition, the 2011 Rookie of the Year Tamara Moore finished fifth in the women's 60m hurdles, after placing eighth during the preliminaries. Sophomore Tatiana Colbert also advanced to the finals in the 60m dash where she placed 14th.

The only two field competitors for the Panthers at the meet were juniors Kesean Henderson, who placed 17th in the women's weight throw, and Sydney Henry, who came in 32nd in the shot put.

Georgia State will return to the Birmingham CrossPlex for another indoor meet hosted by UAB, Samford and Birmingham Southern on Jan. 25-26.
