Saxon Women Close Out 2022 Outdoor Campaign at AARTFC

BETHLEHEM, PA – The Alfred University women's track & field team wrapped up it's 2022 outdoor season at the All-Atlantic Regional Track & Field Championships hosted by Moravian College on Thursday evening.

"The way that we fought and pushed each other all year, both indoor and outdoor, really shows how we can raise ourselves to a new level," Head Coach Dr. Angie Taylor said. "This meet showed us a little bit of everything from hot temperatures in the sun, to a misty and chilly Thursday morning, to a gust of wind that threw a canopy weighed down with 35-pound plates. Through all of that, we competed strong across the board and we are very happy and proud of our student-athletes."

Although finishing the meet with no team points, the Saxons neared a placed position as a team with Bianca Durso (Utica, NY/New Hartford Senior) finishing 10th in the heptathlon with a personal best 3,573 points. She was 121 points way from the podium as the two-day event came down to the wire in a mad dash for the podium placings.

Durso had two events of 600+ points as she scored the majority of her points with a 1.52m showing in the high jump on Wednesday evening. She scored 644 points in the event. Durso's final event of the championships, the 800-meter run also resulted in her scoring over the 600-point threshold, totaling 619 points with a time of 2:36.05.

Durso scored 558 points in the 200-meter dash (28.95), 503 points in the 100-meter hurdles (17.86), 446 points in the long jump (4.57m), 425 points in the shot put (8.40m) and 378 points in the javelin (24.78m) to round out her season.

Madison Palmer (East Aurora, NY/East Aurora) had the next best finish for the Saxons as she finished 12th in the shot put with a toss of 11.72m. She also finished 21st in the hammer throw with a throw of 36.79m.

The 4x800-meter relay team of Morgan Brothers (Rochester, NY/Greece Arcadia), Olivia Gilbert (Ontario, NY/Wayne Central), McKenzie Hall (Hornell, NY/Hornell) and Sarah Lutkins (Union Springs, NY/Union Springs) closed out the championship meet with a time of 10:17.16, finishing 14th.
