SELINSGROVE, PA (April 15, 2022) -- The Susquehanna University women's track and field squad sent athletes to a pair of meets on Friday afternoon, as some competed up the road at the Bison Outdoor Classic while much of the squad competed at the Moravian University in Bethlehem, PA. 

At Bucknell, junior Kallan Carter posted a strong performance in the women's unseeded 1500 meter run, taking 10th of 94 runners while finishing as the second Division III runner in a time of 4:44.07. The time was the third-best time in program history in the 1500 meter run. 

Senior Kate Ross was 34th in the 1500 meter run as well, as she recorded a personal-best time of 4:50.97, the seventh-best time in program history. Both Carter and Ross's times were regional qualifying efforts. 

Sophomore Emma Myers posted a personal-best time by 14 seconds in the 1500 meters as well, taking 75th overall among a very strong field. 

The rest of the squad traveled to Moravian University, posting a bevy of strong performances.
