EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. - Millersville University sophomore Lenaiya Flowers won the 200- and 400-meter dashes, and Sunflower Greene took first place in the shot put at Saturday's All-American Meet hosted by East Stroudsburg.

MEET HIGHLIGHTS
• Flowers ran a season-best time of 57.72 in the 400, and won the 200 with a career-best time of 25.45. Her time in the 400 was the second-fastest in the PSAC this season, and her 200 time jumped her to 10th in the PSAC.
• Emonie Reviere placed third in the 200 with a time of 25.66. Reviere was also one of seven Marauders to finish in the top 12 in the 100-meter dash. Destinee Holloman led the team with a fourth-place finish at time of 12.37. Reviere posted a 12.51 for fifth, Clara Forney ran a 12.77 for sixth, and Brianna Doherty posted a 12.79 for seventh.
• Yoangelys Rijo-Cedeno ran the 1,500-meter run for the second time this season, finished seventh and posted a PR time of 5:04.12--just two second shy of a PSAC qualifier.
• The 4x100-meter relay team of Brianna Doherty, Reviere, Gabriela Karch and Holloman ran a 48.25, and was edged by East Stroudsburg's 48.22.
• Because of the weather conditions, the lone throwing event held was the shot put. Greene won with a toss of 48-7 1/2. Aliyah Striver took third with a mark of 44-4 1/4. Madison Martin's 38-9 1/2 was good for fourth. Reuinisha Williams placed sixth and Stephanie Garner took eighth.
• Natalie Poulton placed fourth in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 19:16.08, missing a PR by .31.
• Freshman Jillian Miller ran the 800-meter run for the second time this season and posted a 2:29.95 for 10th in the 800-meter run, missing a PSAC qualifying time by just over six seconds.

WHAT COACH ANDY YOUNG HAD TO SAY
• "There were some rough conditions today. The throwing areas were under water so distances weren't great overall. With the rain times on the track weren't great either. But I am glad we had to compete in adverse weather conditions and also compete a bit tired after all the competitions over the past week. Lenaiya's two wins were definitely the highlight."

NOTES
• Flowers' time of the 400 gives Millersville the top two times in the PSAC. Flowers ranks behind Forney, who holds the top time at 57.15.
• Millersville runners have four of the PSAC's top 16 times in the 200.
• Greene has won the shot put in 10 of her last 11 regular season outdoor meets--the 2018 Penn Relays being the only exception. She is a two-time shot put winner at the All-American Meet, winning it in 2017. She did not compete in the shot put at the meet in 2018.
