Gainesville, FL -

13 young ladies ran into Florida Atlantic University's history books and the first individuals to compete as a track team when they competed in the Florida Intercollegiate Indoor Track & Field Meet, hosted by the University of Florida, Saturday.

Katrina Lindsey, Cindy Lane, Erica Emmerson, Sarah Jackson,Kelly Muys, Claudia Beitel, Erica Long, Susanne Rowe, Celena Bibbins, Meredith Murphy, Tangela Rogers and Daveidra Jenkins all wore the blue and grey on Saturday for FAU's first-year head coach Nate Hooks.

Hooks entered the meet with the attitude of getting the team comfortable in a college meet atmosphere before they hit the outdoor season and that each meet will be a stepping stone for the Trans America Athletic Conference Meet in May.

The team concluded the first intercollegiate with five final heat appearances. Claudia Beitel ended the day with the team's two highest finishes. She finished 12th in the 200 Meter Dash in 2:26.78 and 15th in the one mile run 5:20.17. Daveidra Jenkins finished 15th (25.96) in the 200 Meter Dash. Katrina Lindsey finished 17th in the long jump with a leap of 4.99m.
