Elon, N.C. – Chloe Christian broke her own school record in the pole vault, and Jenny Martin scored in the javelin and stands second following the first four events of the heptathlon on the opening day of the CAA Track & Field Championships at Elon.

Martin picked up a couple points with her seventh-place finish in the javelin, posting a season-best mark of 40.11m (131-7). Nicole Lane just missed on a spot in the top eight, falling one shy with a mark of 37.59 (123-4).
Martin enjoyed an outstanding day in the heptathlon as she attempts to become a three-time All-CAA honoree in the event. She finished the day with 2,823 points, just 24 shy of leader Carlyn McGrath of Delaware, with the long jump, javelin and 800 remaining on Saturday.
