NEW YORK, NY - The Maryland track and field team wrapped up their weekend at the Dr. Sanders Invitational on Saturday. The day was highlighted by graduate students Anna Coffin and Chioma Njoku, and freshman Jennessa Wolfe.

Coffin earned her way into the number two spot all-time in the women's 3000m, where she previously held the fifth spot. Coffin ran a seven second personal best to finish in 9:31.58.

Wolfe cleared 1.75m in the women's high jump, which puts her in a tie for tenth all-time in Maryland history in just her second collegiate start.

Njoku tossed 19.19m in the women's weight throw, which was good for a second place finish in an impressive field.
