Some Notable Spring Events for Davidson Athletics

DAVIDSON BASEBALL TAKES ON FORDHAM @ WILSON FIELD TO KICK OFF A-10 PLAY

Men’s and women’s track and field are gearing up to compete this weekend at the Vertklasse Meet in High Point, NC. The women’s team is currently riding strong momentum, with nine individuals inside the top ten of the Atlantic 10 Performance Lists, and had a strong performance last weekend at the Weems Baskin Invitiational. They set three new individual PR’s and placed seven athletes with top ten finishes. The men’s team also had a strong weekend at the Weems Baskin Invitational, led by Jayden Smith ’25, who cruised to a pair of podium finishes in the 110 meter hurdles and the 200 meter. The ‘Cats have

15 performers in the top ten of the Atlantic 10 Performance Lists, and placed five finishers within the top 10 last weekend. As they tipped off bright and early at 11:30 on the morning of Wednesday, Mar. 8 against St. Bonaventure, Davidson had defeated the 9th-seeded Bonnies–who had also finished 8-10. As the teams approach their last few weekends of meets before conference, they hope to continue their strong performances and turn in times that are capable of helping them win the A-10 meet, held May 6-7 on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The ‘Cats play the Fordham Rams this weekend after winning seven of their last eight games.

Hunter Anderson ‘24 had his first career start on Saturday and did not disapoint, hitting a grand-slam walk off home run to win the game for the ‘Cats. It was his first career home run that marked a 9-0 comeback for the ‘Cats.

The ‘Cats will play a double header versus the Rams, the first game at 1 pm and the second at 4 pm.
