Cincinnati, OH - Although the UD track and field team posted its lowest team score of the season competing in the All-Ohio Championships on Saturday, the Flyers tallied 16 top-ten finishes overall and received strong performances in both the 400 open and relay races.

The 4x400 relay squad helped UD to 6 of its 32.33 points by running a season-best time of 3:55.81, which was just three seconds off the school record.

In the open 400, freshman Ashley Cattran posted a season-best time of 56.08 to take third overall. Cattran was followed by juniors Stacy Chew (6th, 57.99) and Lisa Aubry (9th, 59.93).

Freshmen Liz Coorey (17:55.26) and Maureen Bulgrin (18:05.06) finished back-to-back in seventh and eighth place in the 5,000 meter run for UD as well, each setting season-best times in the process.
