Sierra DeLeon ’14 broke two more school records April 5 at the Marv Frye Invitational at Ohio Wesleyan University (OWU). Despite her strong performance, the women’s team placed eighth and the men’s team placed last out of 10 teams.
“We don’t have a lot of depth, but we have some really solid individuals,” Head Coach Duane Gomez said.
DeLeon broke her own record in the women’s 100-meter hurdles in 14.55 seconds. Gomez said she is ranked third in NCAA Division III in the event. She also broke the Kenyon record in the women’s 200-meter dash in 25.09 seconds.
Haley Schneider ’14 broke a Kenyon record in the hammer throw. For the Lords, Nat Fox ’16 placed second in the men’s 800-meter. Lucy Iselin ’16 qualified for Saturday’s All-Ohio Championships in the women’s 5,000-meter. Kye Duren ’16 qualified for the men’s 100 and 200-meters.
While the teams will go back to OWU for the All-Ohio Championships on Saturday, April 12, Sam Lagasse ’16 and Jenna Willett ’14 will compete against Division I runners and Division III All-American caliber runners at the Bison Invitational.
