small track contingent
has super day at esu

After their scheduled meet at Ursinus yesterday was cancelled due to snow, the Muhlenberg track and field teams competed at East Stroudsburg’s DeSchriver Invitational with a smaller number of athletes. Those who did make the trip had a great day.

Senior Jennifer Lynch won the mile, narrowly missing the NCAA provisional time by only a little over a second. Her time of 5:06.60 wasn’t far from the best time in the Centennial Conference this season, 5:06.43.

Junior Bobby Torphy was the top finisher for the men, coming in second in the 800 meters and setting a new indoor personal record of 1:55.78, which topped the best CC time as of last weekend’s meets.

Sophomore Kimberlee Yalango cut more than two-and-a-half seconds off her previous personal best in the 800, running a 2:24.35 to place fifth in the meet and land in fourth on the Mules’ all-time performance list.

Sophomore Melissa Ugelow set an indoor personal record in the 5,000, finishing third in the long race with a time of 19:23.90, good for seventh on the Muhlenberg performance list.

The all-freshman 4x200 relay team of Amanda Brennan, Mallory Davis, Colette Faust and Tara Keegan came in eighth. Faust set a new personal best in the high jump at 5-2, and another freshman on the women’s team, Bre Biondi, became the third Mule to clear 9 feet in the pole vault.
