Distance
Orefield, Pa. / Northwestern Lehigh
Sarah Supplee led the Golden Rams once again, turning in a winning effort in the 3k with a time of 10 minutes and 00.48 seconds, which is a new personal best for the sophomore, surpassing her previous best time of 10:02.89 that she had set at the Seahawk Shootout in December.

Women’s Field Athlete of the Week

Throws
Oxford, Pa. / Pinelands Regional
On her way to winning the shot put at Bucknell's Bison Open & Multi, freshman Elizabeth Makar rebroke her school record just one week later with a throw of 14.35m. Makar's mark is now the best in the PSAC and ranks 14th in all of Division II and was an NCAA provisional.
Men’s Track Athlete of the Week
Shippensburg
Drew Dailey
Sophomore
Mid-Distance
Phoenix, Md. / Dulaney
Drew Dailey broke a 12-year-old school record in the 800 meters on Saturday, the signature performance in a solid day of action for the Shippensburg University men's indoor track & field team at the Sykes & Sabock Challenge contested at Penn State's Multi-Sport Facility and Horace Ashenfelter III Track. Dailey ran a seventh-place time of 1:50.88 to crush his own personal best by nearly three full seconds and eclipse the SU record of Ed Buck (1:52.66 in 2010) by nearly two full seconds. It's a time that is just 0.26 seconds shy of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) all-time record of IUP's Sean Straumann (1:50.62 in 2007) and puts him eighth on the NCAA leaderboard. He also anchored the 4x400-meter relay, running with Eric Kirk, Stephon Brown and James Jaisingh to move the relay atop the conference leaderboard with a fourth-place time of 3:19.56.
Men’s Field Athlete of the Week
Slippery Rock
Jason Goodman
Senior
Multi
Allison Park, Pa. / Hampton
Goodman won the seven-event heptathlon at the YSU Mid-Major Invitational last weekend with an NCAA provisional score of 4,924 points. That mark is just shy of his career-best of 4,967 points set earlier this season and is still better than any other athlete in the Atlantic Region ... Goodman beat the Atlantic Region's No. 2 multi-event athlete, Adam O'Donnell of West Liberty, head-to-head in the competition at YSU. He is the only multi-event athlete in the PSAC to top 4,900 points this season and has done it twice now. Goodman currently ranks 16th in the nation in the heptathlon.
