The last time members of the CSS track team competed was over spring break in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where there were personal and school records falling all over as well as three NCAA Provisional Qualifying marks were hit in one day of competition.

#Tracy Perish# started the meet off with her competing in the Heptathlon. Perish would break two school records on her way to a school record of 4,133 points which was good enough for seventh place overall and a NCAA Division III provisional qualifying mark. Perish jumped 16'-11.5” (5.17m) in the long jump and on her first ever throw in Javelin she broke the school record in that as well with a throw of 119'-5” (36.39m).

#Alec Seeley# continued the hot streak as she broke her own school record in the Hammer throw with a toss of 162'-10” (49.64m), which also met a NCAA provisional qualifying mark. #Tom Lyscio# was the third and final Saint to provisionally qualify as he broke his own school record in the Hammer throw with a toss of 177'-2” (54.00m) to finish seventh overall, but the top Division III thrower in the competition.

#Becky Huberty# and Seeley dueled it out for the Shot Put record as Huberty bested Seeley by .01 meters. Huberty threw it 12.28 while Seeley just missed her with a toss of 12.27. Both throws eclipsed the old school record. #Katie Walrath# was the final athlete to break a school record as she threw the Discus 125'-3” (38.17m) to finish 12th overall.
