Sophomore Molly Malone (Fayetteville, N.Y.) set the Syracuse record with a 2:07.81 time in the 800-meter run last weekend at the SPIRE Division I Track & Field Invite last weekend in Geneva, Ohio. Meanwhile, senior Lauren Penney's 3000-meter time of 9:12.76 at the Husky Classic in Washington shattered her own school record by more than three seconds.
This is the second time that Penney has broken a school record this season. She also set a new mark in the mile run with a time of 4:39 at the Penn State National Invitational. Malone's time was good for a fifth place finish in the event, and broke the previous Orange record held by Teri Edgerly in 1983.
The Orange entered six student-athletes in the women's 3000-meter run, and were led by Erin Cawley 15th place finish overall at 9:40.65.
Also competing for the Orange in Ohio was senior Pat Dupont and Tito Medrano, who both punched their tickets to the IC4A Championships later this season with their 12th (14:38.18) and 13th (14:39.82) times in the 5000-meter run. Senior Corey Robinson (15th; 8:13.71), Andrew Palmer (19th; 8:15.78), Reed Kamyszek (23rd; 8:20.90) and Andrew Bennison (28th; 8:25.62) also secured a spot in postseason competition with IC4A qualifying times in the 3000-meter run.
