IOWA CITY, IA — The University of Iowa men and women’s track and field team hosted its annual intrasquad meet Sunday afternoon at the UI Recreation Building in Iowa City. The co-ed black team won the meet with 98 points and 15 event titles, while the gold team won eight events and scored 81.

For the women’s team, junior Rhonda-Kaye Trusty won the 60 (7.68) and 300 meters (39.62), and anchored the winning 800-meter relay (1:43.62), while senior Mandy Chandler won the shot put (40-9) and weight throw (47-10 3/4). For the men’s squad, freshman sprinters D’Juan Richardson and Patrick Richards had outstanding collegiate debuts. Richardson won the 60 (6.95) and 200 meters (22.21), while Richards won the 300 meters (34.30) and anchored the winning 1,600-meter relay (3:19.67).

“I was very happy with the blend of our newcomers showing us some promise of what they can do and some of our veterans, like John Hickey and Adam Hairston, showing us why they were leaders in the Big Ten last year,” said Head Men’s Coach Larry Wieczorek.

“Today was a great opportunity to evaluate our potential for the upcoming season. Several of our leaders showed that they will be factors at the Big ten and national levels, while several of our newcomers showed great promise for the future,” said Head Women’s Coach Layne Anderson. “We have a lot of work to do in the months ahead, but now we have an official starting point.”

The Hawkeye men’s team will open the 2009 indoor season Jan. 10 when they host Illinois at the UI Recreation Building in Iowa City. The Iowa women’s team will open the season Jan. 17 when they host the co-ed Hawkeye Invite with the men’s team.
