Bulls Fare Well In First Trip To Kent

Scott Leads Women In Good Showing
The Bulls made their first of three trips to Kent, OH this winter as part of the first Kent Invitational of the season and had several excellent performances.

The women had two first place finishers as well as one second, third and fourth place finisher in the event. The men, meanwhile, also had two first place finishers.

There was no team scoring at the event.

The Bulls' women's team received a standout performance from junior Katie Scott (Salamanca, NY/Salamanca) as UB had five performers finish in the top five.

Scott won the 300-meter hurdles in a school record time of :45.40, breaking her own mark of :46.62, and also participated on the victorious distance medley relay team that won in a time of 12:15.54. Other members of that team were Christina Keck (Erie, PA/McDowell), Lisa Luce (Varysburg, NY/Attica) and Casey Spencer (Corning, NY/Corning-Painted Post). That time qualified the quartet for the ECAC Championships on March 3-4.
