Hugo Matches Own School and SUNYAC Pole Vault Record at Ithaca Quad Meet

Christine LaVoie finished third in the 400-meter dash

ITHACA, N.Y. – Senior Kelly Hugo (Highland) recorded two of Cortland's four ECAC-qualifying performances, including a school and SUNYAC record-tying pole vault, at the Ithaca College Bomber Quad Meet.

There was no team scoring at the meet, which featured athletes from Ithaca, Cortland, Cobleskill and Alfred State, along with some Cornell junior varsity members.

Hugo won the pole vault with a height of 3.60 meters (11' 9.75") that matches her own school and SUNYAC record set last season. She currently ranks 12th nationally in Div. III in the event. Hugo also placed third in the long jump with an ECAC distance of 5.20 meters (17' 0.75").
