Randall and Duran Tally Empire 8 Weekly Honors
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Ithaca senior Jenn Randall and Stevens Institute of Technology senior Alina Duran were named the Women's Track & Field Athletes of the week.
Randall helped score 24 points en route to the Bombers’ third ECAC Indoor Championship title. She rewrote her own school record in the 800-meter run with a second-place finish of 2:14.38. She also won the mile run in 4:55.88, just .35 seconds shy of the school record. Randall ran a leg of the Bombers' school-record setting 4x400 relay that placed third in 3:56.19.
Duran claimed the ECAC weight throw title with a toss of 16.84 meters (55 feet, 3 inches) and won by nearly two feet in a field of 23 competitors. Throughout the indoor season, Duran has placed first in the weight throw in five separate events, including the Empire 8 Conference Championships.
Randall and Duran will compete at the NCAA Indoor T&F Championships hosted by North Central College on Friday and Saturday, March 8-9.
