Women's Track Sets Five New School Records at Cornell

2/18/2023 6:38:00 PM

ITHACA, N.Y. – Five new school records were set by the St. Bonaventure women's indoor track team in a stellar day Saturday at the Cornell Invitational.

Freshmen set all of the new school-best marks, led by a pair of new program bests by first-year Bonnie Adria Magnusson. She posted new program records in both the 400 (1:01.92) and the 800 (2:26.47).

Magnusson crushed the old Bona record in the 400, beating it by over three and a half seconds. In Saturday's race, she placed third out of 24 competitors.

In the 800, she broke her own record which stood for only two weeks. She just clipped her previous mark of 2:26.90 posted at Brockport and finished fifth in the race out of 17 runners.

Fellow first-year runner Claire Cuneo also went to the top of the board in the 5000 meters at 18:58.62. Her effort was the winning time in the race as she won by over a full minute. Teammate Jenna Gregory placed second (20:06.20).

Helena Roy gave the Bonnies another school record in the 3000 meters as she crossed the stripe in 11:02.32. She eclipsed the previous best mark of 11:02.68 posted by Mia Winters last week at RIT and was six seconds better than her PR also posted at the RIT meet. Roy finished fourth overall in the race Saturday out of 14 runners.

The final new school record of the day came courtesy of Georgia Hanley who ran the 1000 meters in a sparkling mark of 3:19.44, easily better than her previous PR of 3:32.35 set last week. Her effort is also three seconds better than the previous school best mark.

Just behind Hanley in the 1000 was Molly Gipson who goes to second in the school record books at 3:20.23.

In the mile, Winters PR'ed at 5:37.25 to move to fifth individually in school history.

Next up for the Bonnies is a trip to Atlantic 10 Championships next weekend in Rhode Island.
