The Outdoor Track and Field team not only
battled their competitors during their first meet
last Saturday, but also came head to head with
record breaking snowfall in Erie, making
event competition difficult.
The team kicked off their season at the
Clarion Invitational, competing against
several District II schools from Pennsylvania
and Ohio. Due to the blustery cold weather,
many of the schools that were scheduled to
compete withdrew from the competition.
Despite the unwelcome weather, Lindsay
Schulte came home the lone winner in the 200-
meter, clocking in at 27.64. For the men’s
team, Greg Cooper ran a strong 400-meter
race for Behrend. Andrea Sanko and Tyler
Travis competed well for Behrend in the 5000-
meter. Schulte confirmed, “No one could
compete to their full potential because of the
weather. I think the rest of the season will go
really well, both the women’s and men’s teams
have a lot of talent.”
“We did ok. We were cautious and
cancelled some of our events, and it was
difficult to do anything real significant since
the cold and wind really made it hard to
perform at our best.” Without the luxury of
an indoor facility to compete in, the outdoor
track and field team must also face difficult
obstacles dealing with unpredictable weather,”
stated Coach Rich Hoffman.
With strong and determined athletes to their
advantage, the Behrend track team is hopeful
for a good season. For this group of athletes,
bad weather and stiff competition is merely a
challenge that is to be conquered. Their next
meet is Saturday, March 30, at Geneva
College for the Merriman/Butler Invitational.
