VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Sophomores Jenna Gregory and Mia Winters each established new program records to highlight the weekend of competition at Atlantic 10 Indoor Track Championships for St. Bonaventure's women's squad.
Gregory crushed her own school record in the 5000 meters on Friday night.
She clocked in at 18:41.96, easily surpassing the time of 18:47.40 she registered earlier this month at the SPIRE Collegiate Games. The second-year Bonnies runner started the season with a then-PR of 19:14 in the event just a month ago.
On Saturday afternoon, Winters continued to raise the bar on her own record in the 3K.
Winters broke her own record each time she ran the 3000 meters this season and did so again at the conference meet with a run of 10:23.76. She also improved her time in the event by over 30 seconds during the course of this indoor season.
In the mile, freshman Meghan Lex gave the Bonnies their highest finish ever in the event at A-10 Championships as she placed 11th at 5:10.89.
Also in the 3000, freshman Katelyn Wilkes broke her previous PR by well over five seconds (10:52.68).
"The team's hard work, dedication and consistent training played a crucial role in their success this indoor season," St. Bonaventure head coach Bob Macfarlane said. "Their collaborative effort and positive attitudes helped each team member improve and achieve their goals. Their accomplishments are a result of determination and staying focused on their objectives."
While indoor season comes to a close, the Bonnies will now look toward the outdoor schedule which begins April 5-6 at the Colonial Relays in Williamsburg, Va.
