LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Slippery Rock University pole vaulter
Allie Taylor was named the Female Field Athlete of the Week when the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference announced its weekly indoor track & field awards Tuesday.
Â
Taylor, a senior from Fremont, Ohio, was recognized for her efforts at the YSU Collegiate Invitational last Friday at Youngstown State.
Â
She took second overall in the pole vault and was the top non-Division I finisher after clearing a season-best and NCAA provisional height of 3.73 meters. That effort makes her the only PSAC athlete to hit the NCAA standard in the women's pole vault this winter.
Â
Taylor currently ranks No. 1 in the Atlantic Region and No. 21 in Division II with her performance.
Â
Slippery Rock returns to action this Saturday at the Ashland Invitational hosted by Ashland University.
