PRINCETON, N.J. - Senior women's indoor track & field captain Marcia Flack qualified for two finals in leading the Midshipmen to a successful first day of competition at the 2001 Heptagonal Championship held on the campus of Princeton University.

Flack qualified for finals in both the 100-meter dash, as well as the 400-meter hurdles. Hailing from Painesville, Ohio, Flack produced a 12.48 in the semifinals of the 100-meter dash to qualify for the finals on Sunday. Meanwhile, she won her heat with a 62.03 en route to qualifying for Sunday's 400-meter hurdles final. Joining Flack in that final will be teammate sophomore Amy Stokes (Fort Washington, Md.), who placed fourth in her heat with a 63.34 to qualify for the eight-woman field.

Also qualifying for finals to be held Sunday was senior Amy Baxter (Cheshire, Conn.). One of Navy's premier cross country runners, Baxter won her heat with a time 4:33.46 in the 1,500-meter run - the third-best time of the four heats.
