FRIDAY RESULTS

EAST STROUDSBURG—Bloomsburg University sophomore Kaylee Caruso (Montoursville/Montoursville) captured the long jump title at the 2015 PSAC (Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference) Track and Field Championships to highlight action for the Huskies.
 
Caruso's title was the second for Bloomsburg coming on the heels of Hannah Boudreau (Hampstead, MD/North Carroll)'s win in the 10k final on Thursday. The win helped the Huskies stand in fifth place with 31 points heading to the last day of competition on Saturday at East Stroudsburg University.
 
After an opening jump of 5.53 meters, Caruso let loose on her second jump breaking her own school record of 5.81 meters with a leap of 5.91 meters (19' 4.75"), a mark that also bettered her NCAA provisional standing. Her third attempt of 5.85 meters was even better than the eventual second place mark of 5.80 meters by a Shippensburg athlete as she becomes the first long jumper in school history to win a PSAC title.
 
Success for the Huskies also came in the high jump with Joselyn Estrada Pascual (Milton/Milton) finishing fourth and equaling her career best of 1.68 meters (5' 6.00"), while Amanda Simone (Philadelphia/Archbishop Ryan), who only made the PSAC field a week ago, took seventh with a mark of 1.58 meters (5' 2.25").
 
In the shot put Tayler Harkins (Lansdale/North Penn) was 11^th in 12.21 meters (40' 0.75") with Meghan Hallick (Pottsville/Pottsville Area) 17^th in 11.19 meters (36' 8.50"). In the hammer throw Hallick was 17^th with a throw of 42.02 meters (137'10") with Harkins not posting a mark.
 
On the track in the 800-meter finals Teresa Ortiz (Philadelphia/Saint Huberts) finished sixth in 2:16.47, while Alexis Rankin (Hatboro/Hatboro-Horsham) was 11^th in 2:19.94. In the 3000-meter steeplechase Jessica Quesenberry (Blue Bell/Wissahickon) took eighth in 11:46.93.
 
In the 400-meter dash prelims Jena Toner (Mill Hall/Central Mountain) posted the fifth best time of the day in 57.74 and will advance to the finals on Saturday, while Alyssa Barthlemes was 12^th in 59.12 seconds.
 
Action will resume at 11 a.m. on Saturday with the field events and 12:30 for the track events.
