GENESEO, N.Y. – Maya Campbell (Valley Stream/Valley Stream South) won the 100-meter hurdles and was part of the winning 4x100-meter relay team – two of Cortland's seven regional qualifying performances during the day – as the Red Dragons competed at the SUNY Geneseo May Meet.

The Red Dragons will send a few athletes to a meet Monday at Swarthmore and will host the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference (AARTFC) Championships Wednesday and Thursday in the final competitions leading up to the NCAA Division III Championships.

Campbell won the hurdles with a personal-best time of 14.71 seconds. She teamed with Kelly Gardner (Lake Ronkonkoma/Sachem North), Steffany Batista (Spring Valley/Ramapo) and Taylor Hunter (Buffalo/Tapestry Charter) for the winning time of 47.81 seconds in the 4x100-meter relay.

Batista posted an AARTFC time of 25.87 seconds in the 200-meter dash to finish in third place. Kaylee Uhl (Waverly) was sixth in the 400-meter hurdles with a regional qualifying time of 1:05.06.

Cortland's other AARTFC marks came in field events. Cat Lutjen (Sound Beach/Miller Place) was third in the javelin with a throw of 34.84 meters (114' 4"), Nicole Van Pelt (Montgomery/Valley Central) placed fifth in the high jump at 1.55 meters (5' 1"), and Harley Buczkowski (Holland Patent) was sixth in the hammer throw at 46.37 meters (152' 1").

Coach's Corner - Comments from Head Coach Steve Patrick:

We had some great results today at the Geneseo May Meet!  This is always a strange time of year, as our numbers have decreased drastically after the SUNYAC meet and we are about to start finals. 
 
Both of our 4x100 relays showed some great things today – we didn't have the cleanest passes in either relay, but they showed that they are ready to drop a fast time.  It will be good to get a little more practice in this week to help make sure we get those things taken care of for the regional championships we are hosting this Wednesday and Thursday, as well as hopefully the at the NCAA Championships.
 
For the track, Maya Campbell continued to shine in her senior season, this time with a big PR in the 100 high hurdles.  It's great to see how well things are coming together for her!  Speaking of senior hurdlers running faster than they ever have,  both Austen Johnson and Aidan Farrell had lifetime bests in the 400 hurdles, which is very exciting!
 
In the 800 meters, freshman Hunter Braun had a great effort to earn a new PR, which is fantastic.  It was his last chance of the year in the 800, but he still has a chance to run the 1500 this week at the Regional meet.
 
While we've highlighted a lot of personal records, it's really cool to have a personal record that is also a new school record!  This week that is what sophomore David Bernstein did in the hammer throw, with a new best throw that was pretty dominant – he bested the field by over 20 feet, which is quite remarkable.  It was a pretty cool moment that the previous school record holder, Mitch Couch, was in attendance as he is now coaching the throws at Oneonta.
 
We have a few middle-distance athletes in action this Monday at Swarthmore, and then turn our focus to the Regional Championships that we host on Wednesday and Thursday at home.
