Winston-Salem, N.C. – Limited members of the Elon University track & field team opened the 2024-25 season Saturday, competing at the Get Your Marks Field Meet, hosted by JDL Fast Track. Intended for athletics who do not have a verified mark in field events, the met was mostly made up of first year student-athletes.
 
Freshman Isabella Johnson won both the shot put and the weight throw Saturday and the Phoenix swept the top three spots in shot put. Johnson threw 38-feet-6 (11.73m), followed by teammates Haleigh Cephus (35-5.75 | 10.81m) and Savannah Hameed (34-7.5 | 10.55m). Johnson's mark in weight throw was 44-5 (13.55m), while Hameed placed third at 42-8.25 (13.01m).
 
Mia Stimpson was Elon's top finisher in both triple jump and long jump. Stimpson's triple jump of 38-6 (11.73m) was good for second place overall and her long jump of 16-3.25 (4.96m) was third.
 
Elon is off until competing at a handful of meets from Dec. 5-8, including the Liberty Kickoff (Dec. 5-6), Boston's Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener (Dec. 7), the Visit Winston-Salem College Kickoff (Dec. 7) and the JDL Early Bird Invitational (Dec. 8).
