KINGSTON, R.I. – The Brown track and field programs wrapped up their weekend competition on Saturday evening after a solid string of performances at the Coaches Tribute Invitational, hosted by URI.

Sophomore Lauren Yeboah-Kodie set a pair of personal records on the day, including running the seventh-fastest 60-meter hurdles time in program history. In total, the two teams combined for 15 podium finishes, including three wins on the women's side - Yeboah-Kodie in the triple jump, Jada Joseph in the long jump, and Kendra Ezeama in the shot put.

SPRINTS
For the women, Yeboah-Kodie set one of her two PRs on the day with her third place finish in the hurdles at 8.81 seconds, a mark that ranks seventh-fastest in program history. Daryn Davis placed fourth in the finals after setting a new PR of 8.88 seconds in the prelims.

Jaiden Stokes took third place in the finals of the 60 meters, finishing in 7.91 seconds. Sophomore Cecilia Marrinan ran the 200 meters in 26.18 to place fifth out of 40 runners, with Emma Gallant finishing sixth in 26.23.
