Johnson City, Tenn. - The Western Carolina Catamount men and women finished second at the 2002 Southern Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships that concluded Saturday, April 20, at the Liberty Bell Track Complex. Appalachian State became the first team since Western Carolina in 1999 to with both the men's and women's titles.
Two women's records were set on Saturday. Chattanooga's Elisabeth Sain set a conference mark in the 400 meter hurdles with a 1:00.22 clocking. Two athletes, Western Carolina's Dana Anglin and Appalachian's Suzanne Makinson, broke the conference pole vault record at 12'0.5". Despite finishing with the same height, Anglin won the conference title by virtue of fewer misses.
Virginia LaCombe of Western Carolina was named the meet's Most Outstanding Field Performer. After having won the heptathlon on Friday, LaCombe won a second straight high jump title by clearing 5'8". She also took fifth in the javelin and sixth in the triple jump.
The Catamount women finished with 188 total points and the men finished with 201.5.
