EDINBORO, Pa. – Multiple Marauders dominated day one of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Indoor Track and Field Championship, as Darian Hauf and Hannah Woelfling earned conference titles in the pole vault and weight throw.
 
Hauf won the pole vault with a height of 12-9 ½ breaking her own program record in the process. She hit the height on her third and final try.
 
Woelfling hit the championship mark on her first throw, as she owns the third-best distance in program history, winning the weight throw with a mark of 59-8 ¼. She edged out teammate and reigning PSAC champion Aliyah Striver who took second with a distance of 55-7 ¾. Striver hit her mark on her sixth and final throw.
