FULL RESULTS

Seitzinger held the previous program record at 2:08.16, a time she set at last year's ECAC Championships. Her record-breaking 2:06.01 is good for second place in the Atlantic 10 this season and placed her sixth at the Penn State meet.

Seitzinger was also a member of the Distance Medley Relay along with Amy Allen, Haley Hamilton and Mara Whalen, which took third place with a time of 11:36.94, good for second in program history and less than two seconds shy of the record. 

Allen moved into fifth all-time in the 400 meter crossing in 56.05 seconds in 11th place. She passed Anna Simone (2012) and Shannon Abraham (2015), who shared the then-fifth-place time of 56.28 seconds.

Junior Madelyn Moretti upped her second-place standing in Duquesne history with a mark of 14.52 meters (47-7.75) in the shot put, placing sixth in the meet. 

Halle Walcutt charted a career-high score of 3448 in the pentathlon to improve her fifth-place standing in the DU record book. Walcutt recorded personal bests in the 800m (22:73), high jump (1.53 meters) and 60m hurdles (9.42) in a 10th place finish. 

Freshman Rose Kuchera placed eighth in the triple jump with an early career-best 11.81 meters (38-9).  

Junior Gina Bolla added a career-high time of 10:00.89 in the 3000, while first year Morgan Roemer ran a collegiate-best 5:01.17 in the mile. 

DUKES IN YOUNGSTOWN
Junior Eva Leatherman was one of three Dukes to compete at the Youngstown State Mid Major Invitational on Friday and Saturday. Leatherman finished sixth in the pentathlon, recording a career-high score of 3174. Leatherman had personal records in the 60m hurdles (9.79 seconds), shot put (9.51 meters), long jump (5.20 meters) and 800m (2:25.06), an event she won. Leatherman was joined by freshmen Nadia Constantakis and Ava Brewster. Constantakis finished eighth in the pole vault, clearing a mark of 3.45 meters on her first try before failing to clear 3.60 meters, which would've set a new Duquesne record, breaking Constantakis' record of 3.55 meters (11-3.75). Brewster competed in her second collegiate indoor meet, recording a time of 10:53.36 in the 3000m.
