The William and Mary women's track and field team finished competition Saturday at the 46th Annual Colonial Relays, braving intermittent rain and high winds to earn a pair of top-ten finishes on the day and finish in a tie for 30th overall in the team race.  The Villanova women outdistanced the field to win the team race with 116.2 points, over Duquesne's second-place showing of 62 points.

3,000m Run
The day started in the 3,000m run, making its first appearance as an event since 2000.  Junior Kristen Dietz (Springfield, Va.) pushed through heavy winds to finish 10th overall in 10:26.71.

4x1,500m Relay
The 4x1,500m relay also finished 10th overall, with the honors going to the quartet of Lanie Smith (Reston, Va.) , Michelle Britto (Woodbridge, Va.) , Melissa DiVecchia (Centreville, Va.) , and Cara Janeczko (Clifton Park, N.Y.) .

More Records Fall
In addition to Friday's three meet and stadium records that were taken down, Saturday afternoon produced two more records in the distance relays.  In the 4x800m, the Georgetown team of Shanique DaSilva, Emily Infeld, Rachel Schneider, and Chelsea Cox ran 8:45.80 to take down the record of 8:47.6 set by Villanova in 1988.  Later, it was the Michigan quartet of Taylor Pogue, Rebecca Addison, Danielle Tauro, and Jillian Smith who sprinted to 18:04.14 in the 4x1,500m, well under the previous mark of 18:22.0 set by Princeton in 1994.

William and Mary returns to the track next weekend, competing at the George Mason Spring Invitational on Saturday, April 9th.
