Brockport, N.Y. – The Le Moyne College men's indoor track and field team placed 11th and the women finished 12th at the Brockport Multi on Saturday at the Special Events Recreation Center.
"It's days like today that I can't help but get excited about our team" said head coach
Robin Wheeless. "So many people set personal records, it just felt like there was something in the air. Some of their personal bests were only a hundredth of a second but others, like Liv Snell's was close to twenty seconds.
Lilly Capria broke her teammate Abby Seaman's long jump record with a new personal best of 5.01 meters.
Madison Kozyra crushed her weight throw record by almost a meter. That is both amazing and ridiculous. Nobody does that. I'm really looking forward to the Conference Championship in a couple weeks."
