Fellow first-year Mary Hirst took the title in the high jump, with a 1.65-meter bound, while her teammate, junior Dina Emde, finished second. To top it off, freshman Ashtynn Baltimore and sophomore Christine Reed also finished one-two in the 60-meter hurdles, with respective times of 8.88 and 8.95 seconds.

...tasting, touching—has effected an impoverishment of bodily relations. Deflated to the two-dimensional surface—the film, the television screen, the billboard, the magazine advertisement—the female body has lost its material weight: thus abstracted, it has become an object that can be bound, gagged, and raped in virtual reality with near impunity. Viewed within this theoretical frame, media renderings of violence against women enable a particularly potent, and particularly violent, form of voyeurism. Reducing the female body to decayed and decaying flesh, then subjecting it to a distanced gaze, these productions provide...
