SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Seven student-athletes on The University of Scranton women's track & field team earned top-20 finishes at the Susquehanna University Challenge on Saturday.
"We had great performances today," said Royals head coach Ozzie Brown. "Our athletes continue to learn and grow in our sport, and we have our sights set on the Landmark Conference Championships (on Feb. 24)."
The Royals were again led by sophomore Caroline Banas (Dallas, Pa./Holy Redeemer), who finished second in the high jump, clearing a season-best 1.67 meters. Banas, who is tied for the fifth-best effort in NCAA Division III, was bested by only Misericordia's Reilly Wagner, who cleared 1.72 meters and has the best performance in Division III this season.
Scranton also received a ninth-place finish from freshman Abigail Corrigan (Carbondale, Pa./Holy Cross) in the mile with a time of 5:34.03. Sophomore Emily Burns (Middletown, N.J./Middletown South) was also 18th in the mile with a time of 5:50.13.
Freshman Abigail Guziewicz (Peckville, Pa./Holy Cross) finished 17th in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 11:48.42. Junior Emily Carr (Elmhurst, Pa./Scranton Prep) was two spots back in 19th with a time of 11:51.07.
Sophomore Nora Boussatta (Bloomfield, N.J./Bloomfield) was 18th in the 800-meter run in 2:33.53. And sophomore Michaela Farrell (Kirkwood, N.Y./Seton Catholic Central) was 19th in the 400-meter run with a time of 1:05.97.
The women's track & field team will be back in action on Feb. 17 when they compete in the Marc Deneault Invitational at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.
