Redshirt sophomore Summer Hill (Honesdale, Pa./Honesdale) and senior Alex Zanella (Everett, Pa./Everett) each reached NCAA provisional marks on Friday at the Fastrack National Qualifier.
Hill provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 800-meter run while competing in a field of virtually all NCAA Division I runners. She posted a time of 2 minutes, 15.31 seconds while in the Empire State, which ranks as the fastest time in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) this season by over one full second.
Zanella reached the NCAA provisional mark in the 1-mile run on Friday and also registered the top time in the league this season. She crossed the finish line in 4:57.84 while running in an event filled with NCAA Division I programs. Zanella also improved her PSAC-qualifying time in the 800 meters, posting a time of 2:20.24 while competing in the same field as Hill.
Additionally, freshman Jaclyn Reinbold (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) posted a season-best time of 2:23.97 in the 800 meters while running in a different flight of the event. Junior Emilia Ricciuti (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) improved her league-qualifying mark in the 400-meter run by one-tenth of a second after crossing the finish line in 1:00.57.
Sophomore Kailah Holmes (Hatfield, Pa./North Penn) set a personal record and finished in second place in the long jump with a distance of 5.31 meters (17-5.25 feet). She also placed 10th overall in the triple jump with a mark of 11.30 meters (37-1.00 feet).
The Vulcans return to action on Saturday, Feb. 20, when they compete at the Kent State Tune Up.
