ITHACA, N.Y. (February 2, 2020) – Senior thrower Diana Echols made an historic distinction with her weight throw performance at Saturday's Ithaca College Bomber Invitational and Multi. While it's become somewhat routine that the women's school record holder in the weight throw would beat her own record, Echols' second throw in the event for 14.48m gave her the honor of breaking the record in each of her four years as a Bronco, while landing a bid for the AARTFC Championships in March.

After securing a regional spot in the long jump last week at Cornell, Madeeah Oranchak took things further with a season-best 5.44m on her sixth and final jump to finish first in the event. Distance runner Abshir Yerow set a new personal best in the 3,000 meters with a second-place time of 8:49.37, giving him AARTFC bids in both the 3K and 5K. Yerow recently broke the school 5K record at Ocean Breeze in January with a time of 14:56.22.

AARTFC triple-jump qualifier Alex Irving jumped to his second-highest distance of the season of 13.82m for seventh place. Additional highlights included the men's 4x200 team of Shamar Barker, Sean Andrews, Ian Luhmann, Roshain Wallace taking third with a time of 1:34.41, while the women's team of Diara Oliver, Ashley Magnifico, Jaylynn Sheppard, Madeeah Oranchak placed fifth at 1:53.64. Mary Lyons took sixth in the 1,000 meter run with a time of 3:29.56.

Susan Hoskins competed in Sunday's women's pentathlon, finishing ninth with 2,195 points. Her highest totals came in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 10.80 for 570 points and the high jump, clearing 1,40m for 512 points.

Head coach Robb Munro's squad continues the month of February heading to Utica College Blue & Orange Invitational and Multi from Saturday, Feb. 8 to Sunday, Feb. 9. They then head to Boston University for the Valentine Invitational from Friday, Feb. 14 to Saturday, Feb. 15. The Broncos make another stop at Cornell for the Deneault Invitational on Saturday, Feb. 22, then another stop back at Ocean Breeze for the Fastrack Last Chance on Friday, Feb. 28.
