Sophomore Gabby Irving (Thornton, Pa./Garnet Valley) broke the school record in the 200-meter dash and classmate Kailah Holmes (Hatfield, Pa./North Penn) reset her own school record in the triple jump, as the Vulcans qualified five new entries for the league championships at the Youngstown State National Invitational over the weekend.

Irving placed second in the 200 meters after crossing the finish line in 25.28 seconds, which eclipsed the previous record set in 2012 by Monique Sims by five-hundredths of a second. Irving also captured the victory in the 60-meter dash after posting a personal-best time of 7.82 seconds. She now boasts the second-fastest time in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) this winter in both the 60 and 200 meters.
Holmes claimed the win in the triple jump while in Ohio with a distance of 11.81 meters (38-9.00 feet), which is the top mark in the PSAC this year. At the season-opening event last week, she broke a three-year old school record with a mark of 11.46 meters (37-7.25) in the triple jump. In addition, freshman Kaila Cannon qualified for the league championships in the triple jump over the weekend after posting a distance of 11.00 meters (36-1.25 feet).

The Vulcans qualified three entries for the PSAC Championships in the 800-meter run while at Youngstown State. Redshirt sophomore Summer Hill (Honesdale, Pa./Honesdale) placed fourth in the event with a league-best time of 2 minutes, 17.38 while competing in her first track event since the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Championships.  Senior Alex Zanella (Everett, Pa./Everett) and freshman Jaclyn Reinbold (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) also reached the league-qualifying standard in the event with Zanella posting a time of 2:22.08 and Reinbold registering a time of 2:24.87.

Junior Emilia Ricciuti(Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) qualified for the league championships in the 400-meter run after rounding the track in 1:00.67.

The 4×400-meter relay of Irving, Ricciuti, freshman Alyson Pierce (West Middlesex, Pa./West Middlesex) and Zanella combined to register a time of 4:02.94 to finish in seventh place.
Select members of the Vulcans will compete at the Fastrack National Qualifier hosted by Wagner in Staten Island, New York on Friday, Feb. 12.
