Lehigh, Pa. - The Millersville indoor track and field team opened up their 2013-14 season on Saturday at the Fast Times Invitational and multiple school records were broken on the day.
Millersville had two individuals set new school records and five other athletes finished in the program's top-five of their respective events in school history.
Redshirt Sophomore Kiara Allen had arguably the best day among Marauder performers. The sprinter set the school and facility record in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.73 in the finals. Allen won the event with the top time and also reached an NCAA Provisional time with her finish. Allen's finish was .10 seconds faster than the previous school record which was set in 2010 by Brittany Yanora.
Junior and captain Erin Mason and sophomore Kayla Naughton also competed in the 60-meter dash and performed exceptionally on the first day of competition this season. Mason ran the school's third ever best time when she crossed the line in 7.81 seconds and Naughton finished in 8.04 for the program's fifth ever best result. All three individuals reached conference standards in the 60-meter dash.
Erin Madison began her sophomore campaign right we she left off after her rookie year. Last season Madison was All-PSAC in the indoor 400-meter dash and broke mulitple school records in both indoor and outdoor track and field. On Saturday, Madison broke her own school record in the 60-meter high hurdles with a time of 9.29 and finished third overall in the finals. Freshman Arianna Camel reached a PSAC qualifying time in the 60-meter high hurdles with a time of 9.61.
In the weight throw Kelli Farris wasted little time qualifying for the PSAC Championships by hitting the conference mark on her first throw of the season. Farris' best toss was 13.92 meters and placed her in second all-time in Millersville history in the event. Junior Ann Kovacs is now third all-time after her throw of 13.61, and Vanessa Hower is fourth all-time after throwing the weight 13.60. Nicole Sokira competed well and was the fourth Marauder to throw a PSAC qualifying mark in the weight throw.
In the 200-meter dash Mason led all Marauders with the second fastest time at the meet with her finish of 26.12. Naughton finished behind her in seventh at 26.37 and Allen crossed the line in 11th at 26.80.
Emily Leighow finished eighth in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 3:40.78. Camel also competed in the high jump and placed fifth at 1.60 meters.
Millersville now has 41 days off before competing again. When they return from winter break the Marauders will compete in the Golden Bear Invitational at Kutztown on Jan. 17.
