At the Penn State Relays this past weekend, junior Ashlyn Llerandi set a school record in the pole vault and qualified for the Big East championship meet. Also, Sarah Morrison won the mile in 5:10.39, establishing a new meet record. Big East qualifying standards were achieved on the men's side by Nicoy Hines and Stefan Goodridge (60 hurdles), Chris Kearney (500 meters), Curran Darling (HJ), and Robert Sainvil (TJ). For the women, Sherika Ward (60 hurdles) Ashlyn Llerandi (PV), and Ariann Neutts (1000 meters) all posted Big East qualifying times.
