HOUGHTON, N.Y. – For the first time in two years, the St. Bonaventure track teams competed in an indoor meet, running at the Houghton Highlander Invitational Saturday afternoon.

St. Bonaventure began official indoor competition for the first time in decades during the 2020 spring season, but that campaign was cut short after just three meets due to the pandemic. Last year, the team went back to an outdoor-only schedule as the pandemic continued, but this year is building to its first-ever appearance at the Atlantic 10 indoor championships next month.

Bona's knocked off the rust just after returning to campus last week in their return to indoor action by going back to the site of their first indoor meet two years ago, the Kerr-Pegula Fieldhouse on the campus of Houghton College.

In the 800 meters, senior Amberlee Robertson showed the way by finishing sixth with an effort of 2:37.81.

Robertson finished second for the team in the mile at 5:54.09, with fellow senior Lindsey Lytle pacing the team at 5:49.00.

In the 3000 meters, Emily Peterson's time of 11:47.23 ranks second in the program record books for that event.

St. Bonaventure returns to action Friday, Feb. 11 in Rochester at the RIT meet.
