Gately Indoor hosts biggest Alumni Classic to date
CHICAGO – Demetrius Rolle and Katelyn Welsh each set program records on senior night as DePaul track and field turned in a strong performance at the fourth annual Blue Demon Alumni Classic on Friday at Gately Indoor.
A blazing 6.69 in the 60m prelims reset the program standard, as Rolle followed his personal-best effort with a 6.74 victory in the final. The sprints continued to surge behind a 21.35 personal best from Christian Ortiz-Velazquez to win the 200m, while a 4:03.66 mile secured the event title for Mohamed Abdullahi. In the triple jump, Isaiah Hopf soared 14.88m for the win, and John Bush added a personal-best 1:50.37 to place third in the 800m. In the throws, Jaiden Gary delivered a personal-best 18.31m in the weight throw to place fourth overall.
The women answered with record performances of their own. A 3.75m clearance in the pole vault pushed Welsh to the top of the DePaul record book, while a 23.98 personal best earned Sade Miller runner-up honors in the 200m alongside Claire Dunn's matching PR for third. Isabella Orozco's 4:47.14 personal best resulted in a second-place mile finish, and Vivian Wyller clocked 9:41.89 for a PR in the 3000m.
In the jumps, a 5.88m mark secured second place for Jaiah Hopf in the long jump, while Asha Pierre-Antoine (12.00m PR) and Eveline Reno (11.99m) went second and third in the triple jump. Amelia Barrington cleared a personal-best 1.65m to take third in the high jump, closing a night defined by marks, momentum and continued growth.
