Track & field squads take part in Upstate Indoor Challenge
Bearcats turn in four first-place performances and pair of school records
January 18, 2013
ITHACA, N.Y.—The Binghamton track & field squads turned in a pair of school records and four first-place performances at the Upstate Indoor Track Challenge at Cornell on Saturday afternoon. In the team standings, both the Bearcat men’s and women’s squads placed third out of seven teams.
For the second week in a row, junior Alexis Murray swept both the women’s long jump and triple jump titles. Her long jump mark of 18-11 ¾ broke the school record of 18-9 ¾ set by Nathalee McKenzie back in 2000. Murray’s triple jump mark was 39-3 ¼ . Both of her performances met the ECAC standard.
The other school record was turned in by sophomore Ivory Taussig, who was third in the 60 with a time of 7.80. Kim Williams set the old record of 7.84 back in 2006.
On the men’s side, junior Ben Snodgrass captured the mile with a time of 4:13.76 while sophomore Josh Miller took top honors in the 1000 (2:30.95). Both met the IC4A qualifying standard in their events.
