The Syracuse Orange track and field teams started their 2021 indoor season last weekend. The Orange sent a group of distance runners to the Virginia Tech Invitational as they returned to action for the first time since October.
Amanda Vestri picked right up where she left off as she won the 5000m in a time of 16:09 well ahead of teammate Ellie Lawler who ran 18:05. Syracuse entered seven women in the 3000m and that group took places 2-8 led by Jordan Jacob’s 9:58. After Jacob it was Justus Holden-Betts (10:02), Abigail Spiers (10:08), Olivia Elston (10:22), Emma Eastman (10:40), Emma Wilson (11:00) and Elizabeth Cultra (11:24).
