STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Slippery Rock University senior Anna Igims broke the women's indoor school record in the mile to lead a select group of athletes from The Rock track & field team Saturday at Penn State's Sykes and Sabock Challenge.
 
Igims broke the five-minute barrier for the first time in her career and shattered the SRU indoor record with an NCAA provisional qualifying time of 4:56.84, breaking the former record of 4:59.63 that was set by Janine Powis in 2012. Igims finished ninth overall in the race and was the only non-Division I runner in the top 23 places in the competition.
 
Her time is the fastest in the PSAC this season by nearly nine seconds with the next-best time in the league coming in at 5:05.42.
 
All seven SRU athletes that competed at Penn State Saturday recorded at least the PSAC automatic qualifying standard in their events.
 
Katie Plassio and Ruthie Hughes both hit the conference mark in the 3,000-meter run with Plassio finishing 10th in 10:37.07 and Hughes following in 11th place in 10:37.72.
 
Sarah Corrie rounded out the women's results with a fifth place showing in the shot put with a toss of 13.59 meters.
 
SRU also had three men in action at Penn State Saturday with Joshua Gose leading the way in the shot put. He finished fourth in the competition with a throw of 16.20 meters.
 
Troy Hart finished 14th in the 3,000-meter run in 8:39.38 and Joseph Cintavey was 25th in the mile with a time of 4:19.25.
 
The majority of the SRU track & field teams were in action this weekend at Youngstown State at the two-day YSU Mid-Major Invitational. Results from that competition can be found HERE.
