America East Championship

Meet Preview:

2008 was the last year that the UMBC Retrievers competed on the arctic tundra of

the University of Maine for the America East Championships. That year they

finished third on the mens side and fourth on the womens side. After finishing

third on the womens side and fifth on the mens side at the Indoor Championships,

both teams are looking to move up the team rankings in the Outdoor edition.

Heading into the meet, Mercedes Jackson looks to repeat her Most Outstanding

Rookie performance having set the Conference lead in the 100 meter dash and

sitting in the second position in the 200 meter dash. She is in range of the top All

Time Performances at the Conference meet in both events.

Most Outstanding Field Performer at the Indoor Championships Amanda Deller

opened up last weekend at Penn Relays with a 47-3 in the shot put. A five time

Conference Champion in the event, she will be pulling triple duty as she will be

competing in the hammer and discus as well.

Heading into the meet, sophomore Brandan McGee holds the second fastest time

in the Conference in the steeple. His IC4A qualifying time puts him in range of

possibly contending for the Conference title and earning an NCAA East Region bid.

Aaron Brooks is also beginning to heat up in the throws events. He has shown the

potential for a podium finish in both events, and will even lend support in the

hammer throw as well.

After finishing second in the indoor heptathlon, freshman Malte Bertram will be

looking to move up to the number one position as the multi-events expand to ten

events. The additional events play to his strengths so it could be in the cards.

Last Meet Highlights:

Penn Relays Paulette Fogle, Lauren Leclerq, Deborah Adelola, and Cody Mezebish combined to set

a new school record of 4:04.37 in the Sprint Medley Relay

Ebonique Jones, Briana Young, Kirsten Jones, and Mercedes Jackson broke the 4x200m

relay school record twice, ending the weekend at 1:38.04

Amanda Deller debuted in the outdoor campaign with a 47-2.25 toss.

Cameron McDearmon finished 13th

in the Hammer Throw

Performer of the Meet award.

Event Previews

Sprint Preview:

Mercedes Jackson is only tip of the ice berg in one of the fastest years of sprinting for th

UMBC women. Ebonique Jones will also be in point contention in both 100 meter and

200 meter dashes as well as Kirsten Jones in the 200 meter and 400 meter dashes. Also

watch out for Deborah Adelola in the 400 meters and the quickly improving Briana Jone

in the 200 meters and 400 meters. In the hurdles, stalwart Imani Colbert looks to factor

in the battle for first in the 100 meter hurdles, while Chowan Brightful (100m H) and

Paulette Fogle (400m H) could reach the thop three.

On the mens side, Josh Hewitson will look to end his UMBC career with a bang in the

400 meters, while Sean Cooper should factor into the scoring in both the 100 meters an

200 meters.

Distance Preview:

Junior Todd Cowing looks poised to make a run at the title in the 10,000 meters after

quickly moving up the All Time Lists in his second attempt at the distance. Indoor 4th

place finisher Andrew Smith returns in the 800 meters, an event where he finished in

fourth as a freshman, and will be looking to make a similar impact in a historical fast fielfor the America East. And the quickly improving Jake Albino will be striving to continue

his quick improvement and factor into the scoring in the 1500 meters.

For the women, lone senior Keri Wilson will look to improve upon her school record in

the steeple and personal best in the 5,000 meters, both set this spring. As well as Cody

Mezebish will be looking to match her fourth place finish from the indoor campaign in

the 800 meters.

Field Preview:

For the women, Chrissy Robinson will look to end a career that began with a Conference

Championships in the shot put four years ago. Entered into the shot put, discus, and

hammer, she should contend for point in all three events. School record holders Laura

Walker (pole vault) and Chowan Brightful (high jump) will be going for new heights in

their events in hopes of moving up to the top five.

Entering the meet as the number one seed, Indoor Triple Jump runner-up Aboshioma

Obemeata will be taking the runway in prime position to win his first Conference

Championship. Out in the circle, junior Cameron McDearmon could be a podium factor

in both the shot put, and what has turned into his strongest event, the hammer.
