LOCK HAVEN, Pa.
– Sophomore Ryan Blood (Summerdale, Pa./East Pennsboro) and freshman
Ashley Hartman (Garrett, Pa./Berlin Brothers Valley) were named
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Athletes of the Week for track
in their efforts at the Bucknell Heptagonal, the conference office announced
today. This is the first weekly award for Blood, Hartman and the Lock Haven
University track and field teams.
Blood was second in the
mile at the Bucknell Heptagonal, competing against just Division I teams.
His time (4:15.78) ranks third nationally, is an NCAA provisional-qualifying
and PSAC-leading mark. The sophomore harrier also finished fourth in the
3000 meters.
Hartman continues to
make an immediate impact for the women’s squad, as she has set the school
record in the 60 meters in each of her first four meets for LHU. The
freshman sprinter also put together the top time in the PSAC in the 200
meters at 26.54 at this week’s event.
Blood, Hartman and the
rest of the LHU track and field teams are back in action Friday, Jan. 28 at
either the Penn State Open or the Bucknell Pentathalon.
