Highlighting the women's performances was Junior Kim Foltz (Left) in the women's 1,000m run. Foltz won her section (sixth overall) running an ECAC qualifying time of 3:07.46. A time that also ranks her 3rd All-time in FSU History in the 1,000m. The school record in women's 1,000m is 3:03.16 held by Lori Andrews set in 2003.
On the men's side it was two Senior's, Spencer Lefort (Right) and Carl Caughell that made their mark in the Fredonia State record books. Spencer Lefort broke his own school record with a lifetime personal best score of 4,360 pts in the Men's heptathlon. Lefort also broke personal records and school heptathlon event records in the 60m Dash (7.42), 60m Hurdles (9.25), and Shot Put (10.48m/34'4"). Hurdle specialist, Carl Caughell broke his lifetime personal best of 8.52 seconds in the 60m High Hurdles Saturday with a ECAC qualifying time of 8.47 seconds. A time that currently ranks 2nd in FSU School history behind school record holder Keith Norward's 8.22 second time from 1984. Caughell's time also moved him up to 33rd in the entire NCAA Division III. The top thirteen men (15 women) in each event qualify for the Indoor NCAA National Championships held March 8th and 9th at North Central College in Naperville, IL. Stay tuned to see if the Caughell and the other Blue Devils can reach the pentacle of their sport.
