The athletes traveling to West Virginia last weekend found success at the State Farm Games, competing against Pitt, WVU, Slippery Rock, Seton Hill, Frostburg, IUP, Juniata, Hagerstown, and Duquesne. Tony Dipre easily won the 5000m, finishing 33 seconds ahead of the second place runner. Joe McMahon was third in the triple jump and fifth in the finals of the 60m dash, qualifying for the conference championships in both events. Beth Muller finished fourth and qualified for the conference meet in her first 400m. Sam Zink and Katie Stancik were fifth and seventh respectively in the 1000m, and Jeramie Parker came in third in the same race, which is not contested at the championship meets. Taylor Throckmorton continued a great freshman season by winning his heat to finish third overall in the 500m.
Coming up, the team will travel to the NCAC Relay meet at Denison.

Kent State #2--January 17th
The Allegheny Gators returned to action at Kent State after a long winter vacation. Despite the break, many team members surpassed expectations. Darryl Overton threw a new PR and conference qualifier of 45'5.25" in his first shot put of the year. In the women's weight throw, Emily Kiernan also threw a new PR.
For the distance runners, Mia Symoniak ran a new PR and conference qualifying time of 10:32.4. Other women dipping under their previous bests in the event were Sam Zink, Katie Stancik, Angie Dyer, and Kate David. Allegheny women currently have the top 4 times in the conference. Tony Dipre, Ryan Hanson, Jakeb Zimmerman, Chris Marker, Jeramie Parker, and Zac Ross all qualified for the men's conference 3k. In the same race, Greg Eyer ran a new PR, as did Matt Lacombe in his first race back after a cross country injury. Allegheny has the top 7 times on the conference 3k list.
The sprinters added several solid performances. Matt Yurky qualified for the conference meet in the 60m. Freshman Jacob Seigh ran new bests in both the 200 and 400. Taylor Throckmorton, Beth Muller, and Becca Lendyak all qualified in the 200m, with Muller and Lendyak leading the list of conference qualifiers. A limited squad will compete this weekend at West Virginia University, with most of the team returning to the NCAC Relays in two weeks.
