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.
