PATRIOT LEAGUE OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS – MEET INFORMATION LAST TIME OUT
  • It's been two weeks since the Eagles squad was on the track for a meet. Here's a refresh on how the crew did over the weekend when they were split between the Virginia Challenge and the Bucknell Team Challenge.
  • June Mwaniki recorded herself a time of 16:58.57 for a 15-second personal record (PR). Mwaniki won the overall event.
  • With a PR in the men's 200m, freshman sprinter Fernando Ibarra reaffirmed himself in fifth place in the American record books.
  • Fellow freshman Kaden Kluth made a jump from ninth to fourth in the record books for AU with his PR of 1:50.49 in the men's 800m.
  • Sophomore Danny O'Neill had a personal best (PR) in the 3000m steeplechase, moving up from ninth to eighth in the AU record books with a time of 9:43.05.
  • Annie Ripol and Hannah Schwab, competing in their first full 3000m steeplechase on the women's side, both logged themselves into the record books, at fifth and sixth respectively.
  • In the 15000m races two first years, Jack Chandler on the men's side and Grace Kirk on the women's side, were each able to earn their own personal records (PRs).
  • Cassandra Daniele and Eva Gibson both set personal bests for themselves in the women's 400m hurdles. They each continue to sit at three and four in the AU record books as the program continues to build and run more events.
  • In the 200m races, freshman Owen Garrett on the men's side and Tori Maignan on the women's side each set personal records for themselves.
