Freshman Karlee Kominsky (York, Pa./Northeastern) had another good day in the high jump.  She finished fourth in the event, with a jump of 1.62m.  She also ran the leadoff leg of the 4x400m relay that again broke the school record in the event.  Teaming with sophomore Erin Verdon (Washington, NJ/Warren Hills Regional), senior Erin Stone (Carlisle, Pa./Boiling Springs) and sophomore Jeanne Knowles, the quartet ran 4:21.64.  Knowles earned a MAC qualifying mark in the 400m dash, with her time of 1:02.16, breaking the school record held by Verdon, whose run in the 400m on Saturday was also below the record mark.  Stone also punched her ticket to MACs in the 800m run with a season's best mark of 2:34.87.   Freshman Olivia Dunzelman (Monmouth Beach, NJ/Shore) also added a seasons best in the 1500m run. 

Coach Kilgore was happy with the women's performances, “I thought the women had a great meet.  They competed and performed really well.  From top to bottom everyone did what they needed to do to continue preparing and sharpening up for MACs.  Myself and the rest of the coaches are really excited about how far we've come and what we think this team and these women are capable of.”
