LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Junior Amanda Raudabaugh was named the PSAC Women's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week on Tuesday afternoon by the conference office.

Raudabaugh recorded her second automatic qualifying mark of the season in the 800 and ran on a NCAA provisional qualifying 4x400-meter relay squad on Saturday at the 7th annual Paul Kaiser Classic from Shippensburg.

She was challenged in the 800 by former California (Pa.) runner Clare McSweeney, who famously nipped the SU junior at the finish line in last year's outdoor conference championship meet. Great closing speed in the final 200 meters allowed Raudabaugh to win the race in a season-best 2:08.71, which currently stands as the fourth-fastest time in Division II.

In the last women's race of the day (4x4), Raudabaugh got the baton from senior Jamie McCollum and sped through the third leg of the 4x400-meter relay. She handed the baton off to senior Laura Henzy – who closed well to produce a season-best time of 3:48.75 that improves SU's NCAA provisional qualifying mark.
