Three Bulls Head To USATF Junior National Championships
Caitlin Godin (Rochester, NY/Greece Arcadia) will be one of at least 11 athletes competing in the high jump. Godin finished a record-breaking season, where she cleared a personal-best height of 1.75 meters at the Miami Invite and qualified for the NCAA Regional Championships. The high jump will take place on Friday.
Fatimah Hill (Waterport, NY/Lyndonville) will take part in the long jump competition after finishing a season where she set the school record, with a 5.95-meter jump at the Bucknell Bison Open. Hill will compete on the second day of competition, Thursday afternoon. Mary Veith (Derby, NY/Lake Shore) will be the only track athlete for the Bulls at the event, taking part in the 1500-meter run. Veith is coming off a spectacular freshman season, setting a personal best at the Gina Relays, with a 4:34.28 clocking. In just her first season at Buffalo, Veith placed at the MAC Outdoor Championships and was a major contributor to the distance medley team that won the MAC Championship during the indoor season. Veith will run a preliminary race on Friday, looking to qualify for Saturday's final.
Last season, Buffalo sent Dan Giza (Lancaster, NY/Lancaster) to the junior national championships, where he placed 14th overall in the 1,500 meters. |
