Women's Indoor Track

Edited: Mar. 17, 2008

The North Coast Athletic Conference was represented by three student-athletes at the 2008 Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships hosted by Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio. Allegeny senior Liz Earley (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) placed third overall in the 20-pound weight throw field, setting a new school record in the process. She started the meet with a pair of fouls in her opening two throws. Needing a big throw to advance to finals, Earley busted out a school-record toss of 16.99 meters (55 feet, 9 inches), giving her the third furthest throw in her preliminary heat, and third place overall. The All-American honor is Earley’s third overall, as she placed fifth at last season’s NCAA Indoor Championships in the same event, while taking fourth in the hammer throw a season ago during outdoor. Classmate Emily Pfeufer (St. Mary’s, Pa./Elk County Catholic) took seventh in the triple jump with a leap of 37' 3", which missed fourth place by just 3.75 inches (20 centimeters). Pfeufer’s All-America honor was her third in the event, as she placed eighth in the event during the 2006 outdoor championships and fourth a season ago during the indoor season.
