ITHACA, N.Y. – Three Cortland athletes qualified for the ECAC Division III Championships as the Red Dragons competed at the Upstate Challenge, hosted by Cornell University. The meet featured four Division I schools – Cornell, Buffalo, Syracuse and Colgate – along with Cortland and Ithaca.

Seniors Sarah Kimball (Liverpool) and Keri Laviska (Binghamton/Susquehanna Valley) each cleared an ECAC qualifying height of 10' 10” in the pole vault and junior Mallory Baker (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) posted an ECAC time of 1:20.94 in the 500 meters. Kimball finished second and Laviska was third in the pole vault due to their number of misses. Baker placed sixth in the 500 meters.
