Track & Field Sweeps ECAC Awards

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – After a successful weekend at the Penn State Open and the LHU Last Chance Qualifier, the Lock Haven University Track and Field team grabbed all four Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Athlete of the Week Honors. 

Sophomore Maggie Borden (Hanover, Pa./Delone Catholic) made the most of the final meet of the regular season, earning wins in the 400 meters and both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. The sophomore sprinter posted a 59.78 in the 400.

Fellow Sophomore Ginger Williams (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake) obliterated the 16-year old school record in the discus, spinning an LHU Last Chance Qualifier-winning 147-feet to top the previous mark by 9-feet-6. Her effort was good for an NCAA Provisional mark as well as the Hubert Jack Stadium record.

For the men’s team, Senior Joe Wiegner (Ivyland, Pa./James Madison University) won the 800 meters at the LHU Last Chance Qualifier, posting a 1:55.55. He also ran a leg for the runner-up 4x400 relay.

Junior thrower Fieldon Daubert (Annville, Pa./Annville-Cleonia) met NCAA Provisional standards in the javelin in consecutive days, Saturday at the Penn State Open and Sunday at the LHU Last Chance Qualifier. Competing against Division I opponents at Penn State, Daubert took third with a 199-foot-2 toss. One day later at LHU, Daubert took third again with a 194-feet-10 ½.

Borden, Williams, Wiegner, Daubert and the rest of the Bald Eagle tracksters will participate in the PSAC Outdoor Championships at Mansfield University, starting Thursday May 12 and running until Saturday May 14.
