NEWARK, DE - The Johns Hopkins men's and women's track and field teams competed at the Delaware Open this past weekend. There were several outstanding individual performances by JHU athletes on the afternoon.

Juniors Rajeev Mahajan and Brian Nichols led the men's squad as each won one of their events and posted marks that are among the best in the Centennial Conference this season. Mahajan took first in the high jump with a conference-leading mark of 6'6". His jumped improved his personal-best by two inches. Nichols, Hopkins' record holder in the pole vault, took first in the pole vault as he cleared 13'6". Nichols also placed third in the 60 meter high hurdles with a time of 9.4 seconds.

On the women's side, freshman Chi Chi Ogbonna finished second in the 60 meter hurdles with a time of 11.1 seconds. Junior co-captain Nikki Gross was edged out in the 800 meter run, but recorded a time of 2:32.3 in her first effort ever in the event. Sophomore Aline Bernard took second place in the 3,000 meter run.

The Blue Jays will return to action on Saturday, January 19 at the DuCharme Relays in Dickinson, Pennsylvania.
