The Princeton women’s track and field team jumped to victory this weekend at the 2008 Ivy League Heptagonal Indoor Track & Field Championship with freshman Tiffany Liu’s triple jump that sealed the deal.

The Tigers finished with a final score of 114, seven points ahead of second-place Brown. The Orange and Black went into the second day of the meet closely trailing first-place home team Cornell. It was not until the 4x800m relay that the Tigers finally took the lead, and thanks to a second-place jump by Liu, they never relinquished the top spot.

In the 4x800, the trio of seniors Heather Iatauro, Liz Bergold and Karen Aherne put the team in a good position after the first three legs, with sophomore anchor Liz Costello bringing it home. The relay team finished with a time of eight minutes, 55.18 seconds, more than three seconds ahead of second-place Cornell.

Liu put the nail in the coffin with her second-place jump of 39 feet, seven inches. Her eight points in the event were enough to offset Brown’s seven points, ensuring a Princeton victory.
