GAINESVILLE, Fla. – It was yet another banner day for the JU track and field program, following up on last week's wealth of podium finishes.

The Dolphins dotted the podiums again Friday afternoon back in Gainesville for the Gainesville Indoor Classic. It didn't take long for a Dolphin to earn a top spot, as long jumper Julia Sue-Kam-Ling earned a third-place finish in the meet's third event of the day.

Sue-Kam-Ling posted a 5.72m leap in the long jump, just .01 meters behind second place. It was her first top-3 finish of the indoor season thus far.

The jumpers continued to impress as Ma'Kala Davis took home the gold in the triple jump with a 12.61m leap. It was her third first-place finish of the season, after earning a pair of firsts at the Legends of Alachua County Invitational. 

Right behind Davis was Sanaa Geter in third place with a 12.07m jump. Geter has already started his sophomore season strong, with a third and second place finish to her name prior to Friday's meet. 

Taking to the track, Savannah Chadic led the pack with a first-place finish in the 400. Chadic paced the crowd with a time of 54.81. In third was McKayla Francis, posting a time of 56.42. Kemaj Moore finished just outside, in fifth place, with a time of 56.73.

Just last week, Chadic took home the gold in the 400, while Francis improved upon her previous 400 time by over a full second and Moore posted her season-best time.

In the 60m dash, former Guatemalan Olympian Mariandree Chacon finished in 5^th with a time of 7.58. Chacon wasn't done however, earning the top overall spot in the 200m dash with a time of 24.17. Chadic finished in third, posting a time of 24.61.

Chacon's first-place finish was her first of the indoor season.

During the mile run, Madeline Weiler posted the best finish by a 'Phin with her 10^th place position. Weiler ran a 5:10.74 mile. Jordan Dix finished in 12^th with a time of 5:12.83. 

The next time the Dolphins take to the track will be in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship in Louisville, Ky. from Feb. 27-28. Last season, the Dolphins claimed third place as a team at the Indoor Championships, with fomrer 'Phin Cassie Thompson earning MVP.
