Full Meet Results

EDINBORO--The Bloomsburg University women's and men's indoor track teams took part in the 2011 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Indoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday and Sunday. Two new school records were set (women's 4x800m, men's 400m), as the Huskies performed at this year's event, hosted by Edinboro University.

---DAY ONE---

On the women's side, Bloomsburg's Distance Medley team [Katie Meck (Dillsburg/Northern), Meagan McGeehan (Landisville/Hempfield ), Martina Drew (Langhorne/Neshaminy ), and Katie Filemyr (Willow Grove/Bishop McDevitt)] took fifth place and picked up four team points with a time of 12:34.38. In the 4x800m Relay [Jessica Segeleon (Bridgeville/South Fayette), Meck, Drew, and Filemyr], the Huskies finished eighth in a time of 9:47.01, smashing the previous school record of 9:53.13 set in 2003.

Individually, Lilly Anderson (Glenside/Cheltenham) took 11th in the Long Jump with her leap of 4.88m (16' 0.25"). Ashley Mancil (Bloomsburg/Bloomsburg) placed 13th in pole vault after clearing 3.22m (10' 6.75"), and Kelsey Davis (Bloomsburg/Central Columbia) was just behind in 14th with a height of 3.07m (10' 0.75"). Angela Borealo (Easton/Easton) finished 14th in the 5000m run in a time of 18:15.69 with Samantha Matthews (Windsor/Glenelg) just behind in a personal-best 18:32.33.

Kaila Hassler (Schnecksville/Parkland) finished 21st in the 60m with a season-best 8.20.

For the men, Matthew Stuck was the only point scorer on the day, securing seventh in the Pole Vault with a vault of 4.42m (14' 6"), missing his own school record by 3 cm. Devin Barr missed the finals of the 200m dash by the slimmest of margins, as his time of 22.56 was .01 second from making the top-eight cut, relegating him to ninth place. Ryan Dickerson finished 11th in the 60m dash (7.08), missing the final by .04 second; Dickerson also placed 12th in the 200m (22.69).

In the Heptathlon, Stephen Grib ended the day in 11th, while Matthew Stuck was 14th after 4 of 7 disciplines. Grib took third among the multi-competitors in the High Jump (1.84m), and both looked to improve their placing with their stronger events in Day Two.

---DAY TWO---

On the second day of competition, Grib made up significant ground in the Heptatlon by taking fifth in the 60m Hurdles, and sixth in both the Pole Vault and 1000m. His performances vaulted him to sixth place in the final Heptathlon standings, setting a new BU record with 4493 points and adding three team points for the Huskies. Stuck won the Pole Vault and finished 12th overall.

Jessie Mustapha missed the finals of the 400m by .01 second, finishing in a new school record of 50.44. The men's 4x400m (Mustapha, Barr, Arnold, and Dickerson) relay rounded out Bloomsburg's scoring with a sixth-place time of 3:22.75, adding another three points.

Jack Rosenstein had a personal-best throw of 14.53m (47' 8") in the Shot Put and narrowly missed out on scoring, as he dropped to ninth place on a tie-breaker. In the 800m, Jared Arnold won his heat with a time of 1:58.95, securing 11th place overall.

For the women, Borealo finished the 3,000m in 10:24.92 for 13th place. Trailing her, Katie McShay ran a personal best of 10:39.09 in the 3k. Meck won her heat of the Mile in a personal-best time of 5:15.85 to finish in 17th; Filemyr was close to her best in the Mile with 5;17.68.

In the 800m, Segeleon led all Huskies in a time of 2:24.40. The 4x400m Relay [Hassler, Segeleon, Michelle Christmann (Oradell, NJ/River Dell), and McGeehan] took 11th place in 4:12.88, narrowly missing the school record set last year.


Assistant Coach Liam Smith notes that the Bloomsburg teams have a bright future ahead. "Our men scored seven times the points we did last year with many people inches and hundreths of a second from reaching the podium. The women were able to achieve personal bests and set a new school record, and both programs look to have a promising outdoor season."

The Huskies next take their competition outside beginning on Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26, at the Washington & Lee/VMI Carnival in Lexington, Va.
