Final Results

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Slippery Rock University women's track & field team won its seventh indoor title at the 2024 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Indoor Championships that wrapped up Monday evening from Lehigh University.
 
The Rock scored points in 16 of the 17 events that were contested over the two-day competition and pulled away down the stretch to finish with a score of 136 points. Last year's champion, Shippensburg, took second with 106 points. Seton Hill finished a distant third with 58 points, followed by California (Pa.) in fourth with 57.5 points and East Stroudsburg in fifth with 56.5 points to round out the top five. A total of 15 teams recorded points in the competition.
 
The victory completes a calendar sweep for Slippery Rock, which has won the most recent PSAC titles in cross country (2023), indoor (2023-24) and outdoor track & field (2023). The Rock also picked up the PSAC Champion Scholar award Monday when Regan Johnson was recognized for owning the highest GPA of all female athletes competing at the meet. SRU has swept each of the three PSAC Champion Scholar awards in the last year with Tiffany Jolayemi winning outdoor, Steph Keelon winning cross country and now Johnson picking up the indoor award.
 
"I'm really proud of our athletes and our coaches," said head coach Bill Jordan. "We scored in almost every single event over the two days, and we exceeded our expectations in a lot of areas. The athletes really wanted to win this meet and they went out and executed the plan perfectly. It's a testament to the caliber of student-athletes and coaches we have to win outdoor, cross country and indoor back-to-back like this."
 
The headliner for Slippery Rock over the two days of action was distance standout Anna Igims, who cemented her legacy as one of the best to pull on the green and white by putting together one of the most dominant meets possible. She won the mile and the 3,000-meter run Monday after winning the 5,000-meter run and anchoring the distance medley relay to a win Sunday. In total, she raced 6.97 miles and ran 56 laps over two days, contributing 40 points to the team score. Her point total exceeded eight teams in the final standings. For that effort, she was named the Outstanding Track Athlete of the Meet and the Overall Outstanding Athlete of the Meet after voting by the league's head coaches.
 
Igims wasn't the only SRU athlete to pick up a win Monday as Sarah Corrie scored her third PSAC title in the shot put and picked up her second straight win at the indoor championships. She led a trio of SRU athletes to top four finishes in the shot put as The Rock scored 21 points in the event to pick up a huge boost on the final day of action. Corrie won the event with a toss of 13.90 meters. Becca Martin also earned All-PSAC honors in third place with a throw of 13.02 meters and Olivia Heckman was fourth with a toss of 12.83 meters.
 
Madison Murtland recorded a pair of fifth place finishes Monday to complete a busy weekend for her. She was fifth in the mile in 5:16.20 and fifth in the 800-meter run in 2:22.60 after also running the 800-meter leg of the winning DMR Sunday. Katie Plassio closed out the scoring for the distance runners with a fifth place finish in the 3,000m in 10:22 Monday after also earning All-PSAC honors Sunday in the 5,000m.
 
Samantha Gilbert scored in a pair of events Monday with fifth place finish in the 60-meter dash in 7.73 seconds and a sixth place showing in the 200-meter dash in 25.78 seconds. Regan Johnson was eighth in the 60m in 7.80 seconds.
 
Lydia Latimer closed her first collegiate conference championship by scoring in the 400-meter dash and then anchoring the 4x400-meter relay, one day after also placing fourth in the pentathlon. In total, Latimer competed in eight different events over two days. She took seventh in the finals of the 400m in 59.41 seconds and then joined with Rachel Veneziano, Lydia Reed and Annasophia Stauffer to place seventh in the relay in 4:03.66.
 
The final points on the track came from Chalondra Clarke, who took seventh in the 60-meter hurdle finals in 9.31 seconds.
 
The Rock put the meet away late in the day Monday when a trio of triple jumpers picked up 10 points in the finals. Aleks Brozeski recorded a season-best leap of 11.88 meters to place fourth. Alice Bogia was sixth with a mark of 11.15 meters and Autumn Wyatt, who snuck in as the last seed, took seventh from the first flight with a leap of 11.07 meters.
 
Over the two-day meet, Slippery Rock's women won six events, had 13 All-PSAC honorees, earned the Track MVP award, the Overall MVP award and took home the Champion Scholar award.
