McCREADY PLACES SECOND AT PENN RELAYS

 

            PHILADELPHIA – Slippery Rock University women’s javelin thrower Karen McCready (jr., Johnstown/Westmont Hilltop HS) finished second in the college division at the Penn Relays on Friday in Philadelphia with a toss of 149 feet, 10 inches.

 

The Rock sent six athletes to the Penn Relays with McCready’s performance being the top one for the team.

 

Senior hurdler Linsey Westerman (Freeport/Freeport HS) competed in the 400-meter hurdles, the 1600-meter relay and the shuttle hurdle relay.  Westerman was clocked in a time of 1:02.39 in the 400-meter hurdles.

 

The two relay teams featured Westerman and three freshmen; Jill Rekich (Butler/Butler HS), Andi Rose (Wheeling Park, WV) and Melissa Sopher (Harrisville/Slippery Rock HS).  The 1600-meter relay finished in 3:56.18 and the shuttle hurdle relay finished in 1:01.40.

 

The men sent senior pole-vaulter Nick Wilpula (Mercer/Mercer HS) who was coming off of his record-breaking 17-foot leap at his last meet.  Wilpula finished seventh in the college division, vaulting 15 feet, 1 inch.

 

SRU’s next invitational is Saturday at Baldwin-Wallace in Berea, Oh.
