Round two at the Eredonia State Invitational
proved every hit as exciting as the Lions first visit
earlier in the year. Behrend once more came out
of its corner swinging as the men's team captured
third place and the women's team fifth.
The success at the meet was more than Behrend
expected
“We knew that a lot of the teams there would be
very competitive, especially Division II Edinboro
and Rochester. Coach kept telling us all week
about Edinboro and how tough they are,” said Dave
Masilunas.
Besides the tough competition at the meet,
Behrend encountered another challenge that put
the Lions to the test. Fredonia State’s pole vault
violated the new regulations which require larger
mats to prevent injury and death of pole-vaulters.
Behrend had to leave its pole-vaulters behind and
rely on its throwers for points. This year’s squad
lacks throwers.
“We don’t have a lot of throwers, so we were
forced to rely on the runners for most of the points,”
said Masilunas. “The other teams had a lot of run
ners seeded in front of us, so it made our jobs for
the day that much harder."
However, in true Behrend spirit, both track teams
battled through the adversities to claim four first
place finishes and numerous top ten finishes against

of 43 - 11 1/4. Rock also finished third in both the
55 dash and long jump, and finished eighth in the
200 dash.
Mike Barlett continued his success m the XOO
with a first and teammate Lloyd Mattie finished
fifth.
Hurdlers Isiah Meek and Masilunas also oonti ib
uted to the Lions’ success.
“There were a lot more people hurdling than we
used to racing.,” said Masilunas. "But. the team just
started getting pumped after seeing the other events
results and we said ‘Hey, we got a chance "'
Not only did they have a chance. Meek and
Masilunas went on to finish 1-2 in the preliminary
heat and then finished 12 in the finals. Meek's
time of 8.1 is only .05 off the Behrcnd record, which
Meek holds.
Corey Poulsen, one the few throwers on the team,
unleashed the shot put 42-11 3/4 lor a third place
finish behind two throwers from Ldinbom.
On the women’s side, jumper Staci Banas/ek and
runner Jessica Sarver were the workhorses
In the field, Banaszck tied for first in the high jump
clearing five feet. Banaszck went on to finish strong
in both the long jump, 15 -It) 1/4, and the tuple
jump, 35-1.

1500. Teammate Claire Manelick crossed the fin
ish line shortly after Sarver and captmed fourth
place in the 800. In the 1500. Jess Knapp to!
lowed Sarver’s lead and came in sixth place
“As the captain, I feel like I have a job to go out
there and give it my best," said Saner. Hope
fully, that carries on to the other girls. I led like
there is a lot of pressure on me. but it pist gives
me more experience and leadership so that w hen
someone is nervous about a race I > an go o\et
and talk to them about it."
Both Sarver and Masilunas agtee that things ate
coming together for this young squad Iho l a
ons have the next two weekends oil and look to
hit it hard in practice so that Beluvnd will see
continued success.
Masilunas said. "I really liked how 1 icdonia had
all these championship banners hanging in then
gym, and then we come to then gun and beat
them.’’
