Women\u2019s Track Selects Captains<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

ALBANY, N.Y. \u2013<\/strong> Cross country has finally come to an end, and the University at Albany runners now shift their focus to the upcoming indoor track season. \u00a0Part of that transition includes the selection of team captains for the new season. \u00a0The women\u2019s track team announced their selections on Tuesday, less than a week before the RACC Classic Intra-Squad meet on December 9. \u00a0The women\u2019s captains are seniors Katie Dowd, Kathryn Fanning, Jillian Haynes, and Tynelle Taylor-Chase.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are a great group of leaders who I have no doubt will lead our program well,\u201d said Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Roberto Vives, speaking of both the women\u2019s and men\u2019s selections, which were also made on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dowd is a Staten Island, N.Y. native who primarily throws the javelin. \u00a0She is fourth all-time in the event in school history, with a throw of 128\u2019-10\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fanning is coming off of a successful cross country season where she was a mainstay as the team\u2019s third runner. \u00a0She holds school records in the indoor 1,000 (2:46.70) and mile (4:43.23), and the outdoor 1,500 (4:22.83), as well as holding the 10th fastest time in the indoor 800 (2:16.08) and the fourth fastest time in the outdoor 800 (2:10.62).<\/span><\/p>\n

Haynes is a Brooklyn, N.Y native who focuses on the shorter sprint events. \u00a0She is third all-time in the 60 (7.62), and fifth all-time in the indoor 200 (24.87). \u00a0Outdoors, Haynes is fourth all-time in the 100 (11.93) and fifth all time in the 200 (24.30).<\/span><\/p>\n

Taylor-Chase is a Whitby, Ontario native hurdler. \u00a0She excels at the longer hurdle events but also dabbles in the shorter events as well as open sprints. \u00a0She is seventh all-time in the indoor 500 (1:15.05) and ninth all-time in the 60 hurdles (8.92). \u00a0Outdoors, Taylor-Chase holds the ninth spot in the 100 hurdles (14.34), and the second spot in the 400 hurdles (59.32).<\/span><\/p>\n

Coach Vives shared some of his thoughts about the athletes who were selected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKatie is one of the hardest workers on our team. \u00a0Kathryn is a tremendous student and athlete who leads by example. \u00a0Jillian is highly dedicated and committed to success. \u00a0And Tynelle has an unbelievable commitment to success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The men\u2019s team selected Jonathan Santana, Matthew Catera, Abel Gilet, and Alexander Bowen as their captains. \u00a0After the RACC Classic Intra-Squad meet on December 9, UAlbany\u2019s first competition will be the Penn State Relays in State College, Pa., on January 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
