Josie Hahn Wins High Jump at Indiana Invitational Saturday; Freshmen Mullins-Hall, Schneble and Shannon Also Enjoy Strong Showing

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Vanderbilt sophomore Josie Hahn captured the Indiana Invitational high jump competition with a 5’8” leap, providing one of several solid performances by Commodore athletes at the meet this weekend.

Hahn’s jump matched her previous indoor personal best set last year. It was the first individual event win of this season for the Clinton, Tenn. native.

The meet also produced superb performances by three Commodore freshmen - hurdler Amanda Mullins-Hall, miler Caitlin Shannon and distance runner Erika Schneble - and former Vanderbilt standout Ryan Tolbert.

Mullins-Hall produced her finest effort of the indoor season, finishing second by losing a deadheat with Korto Dunbar of Southern Illinois in the 60-meter hurdles. Her time of 8.60 is a collegiate personal best for Mullins-Hall. She is close to meeting the NCAA Championships provisional time of 8.43 for the event.

Schneble and Shannon both lowered personal bests in their races. Scheble had one of her strongest performances of the season, finishing third in the 3,000 meters with a time of 10:12.91. Shannon continues to show improvement, and finished fourth with a season-best 5:07.03.

A pair of Commodore seniors, Cicely Campbell and Joy Parker, finished fifth and sixth in the 800 meters with times of 2:16.28 and 2:16.39, respectively.

Tolbert, the 1997 NCAA 400-meter hurdle champion who now serves as a Vanderbilt assistant coach, handily captured the 600 meters in 1:32.36. The time equals the sixth fastest run in the United States this season.

The Commodores travel to Southern Illinois University next Saturday for the Saluki Invitational.
