Colorado Springs, Colo. - While a few members of the women's track & field team were competing at Pitt State,
Meleah Ridenour and
Paige Bradley traveled with Assistant Coach
Marshall O'Brien to Colorado Springs to compete in the Pentathlon. Earlier in her career, Ridenour broke the SBU Pentathlon record, but she broke her own record Friday evening with a score of 3782. That score is currently the 5th best in the nation and just a few points away from automatically qualifying for nationals. In the Pentathlon, Ridenour also set a personal record in the high jump, clearing 1.75 meters which is the 4th best in the nation and an automatic qualification for nationals. In her first Pentathlon,
Paige Bradley placed 8th with a score of 2841. The team will be competing at Washburn tomorrow for the second time this season.
