7/30/2019 TF Meet Preview - Penn State Relays 2013
1/5
Penn State Relays
Meet Preview:
The true competitive season begins this weekend as the UMBC Indoor Track and
Field teams head up to State College for the Penn State Relays. In a shortened
indoor season in which the Conference meet is less than six weeks away, expect
stellar performances to come right off the bat. Additionally, the entire squad will be
represented, so this is the best chance to see every single athlete in a competition
in one of the best indoor facilities in the Mid-Atlantic.
One of the biggest differences from the Bucknell Bison Opener is the return of the
entire distance squad, many of whom sat out last meet after resting from the cross
country season. The mens team will feature the entire roster that finished third at
the Conference meet, including the seven runners who finished in the top 26. The
womens side will showcase the future of the cross country team with six
sophomores and freshmen in the 3,000 meters, including Angel Bucci who was the
second Retriever across the line at the first cross country meet of the year before
injuries curtailed her season.
Also look towards to big improvements in the sprinting events, especially on the
mens side. With Denny Long returning to form after an injury hampered fall
training, the return of IC4A qualifier Sean Cooper and transfer Jenove Blanfort
(Virginia State) potentially starting the season, we could see a return of UMBCsprinting dominance.
Amanda Deller, Cam McDearmon and transfer Yao Adantor all came out of the
gates strong with ECAC/IC4A qualifying performances, however expect those initial
performances to be greatly improved with another month of technique work in the
books. Additionally, impact transfer Thor Serafenas (Clemson) could start the
season and immediately factor in the scoring at the Conference meet.
Last Meet Highlights: Bucknell Bison Opener Mercedes Jackson wins the 60m dash in a school record 7.47
Amanda Deller and Ebonique Jones both won events in the shot and long jump
respectively. Dellers throw was an ECAC qualifier.
Chowan Brightful finished second in the 60m hurdles and third in the high jump
Paulette Fogel finished second in the 800 meters
Yao Adantor threw an IC4A qualifying and #2 All Time performance in the shot
Cam McDearmon finished third in the weight with an IC4A qualifying throw off only
two turns
Shioma Obemeata and Mo Drammeh both finished second in the triple and high jumps
respectively
Freshmen Redatu Semeon and Andrew Kereszetes recorded second place finishes in
the 3,000 meters and mile repectively
Sophomore Mercedes Jacksonrepeated her school record
performance in the prelims of the
meter dash and then beat it in th
finals with a time of 7.47. Her tim
places her 1st
in the America East a
13th
in the nation in the very, very
early season rankings. An
improvement of a tenth of secon
could put her on the plane to
Nationals.

Athlete Spotlights
Brandan McGee:
During the outdoor campaign, McGee broke through with a Conference title in the 3,00
meter steeple chase and a fifth place finish in the 5,000 meters. He continued that
success into the cross country campaign with a seventh place finish to earn All-
Conference honors at the America East Championships. He will be looking to continue
that success and break into the scoring for the first time at the Indoor Conference meet
in the 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters. With the school record in the steeplechase along
with the fastest 5,000 meter, 8,000 meter, and second fastest 10,000 meter cross
country times in school history, he could add a few more records to the cupboard durin
the winter season.
Shioma Obemeata:
Looking to break through to the top of the podium in the triple jump, he started the
season with an early season lead in the America East performance lists with a near IC4A
qualifying jump of 47 3, only a couple inches of his best jump. In addition he is looking
to expand his repertoire by adding in both the high jump and long jump. Potentially he
could end up on the podium in three events during the Conference meet.
