HARRISONBURG, Va. - James Madison completed track and field action at the Raleigh Relays in Raleigh, N.C. and the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas with a program record and two Eastern College Athletic Conference-qualifying marks on Saturday evening.

RALEIGH RELAYS
Junior Nicolette Serratore set the javelin throw JMU all-time record with a mark of 47.84 meters. Serratore's throw landed her second out of 31 throwers and was good enough for an ECAC-qualifying mark. Pending updated marks for the weekend, Serratore sits 13th overall in the javelin throw throughout the NCAA East Region.

Seniors Madeleine McCarty, Erica Gray, junior Erica Jackson and freshman Sophie Bollinger teamed up to compete in the 4x800-meter relays, crossing the finish line in an ECAC-qualifying time of 9:05.29 landing the team in third place out of 13 teams.

TEXAS RELAYS
In the final day of competition at the Texas Relays, senior De'Ana Forbes, junior Meredith Willis, sophomore Alexys Taylor and freshman Tally Lott ran the 4x200-meter relays, finishing eighth out of 11 teams in a time of 1:39.42.

QUOTING COACH FRIAS
"We had good meets this weekend. It was the first competition of the outdoor season for many and gave us an opportunity to see how we need to build in the next few weeks. Nicolette's performance in the javelin at the Raleigh Relays was outstanding. She threw over her personal best three times in one series and secured the school record on her final throw."

UP NEXT
James Madison will travel to William and Mary to compete in the Colonial Relays on April 5-7 in Williamsburg, Va.
