ITHACA, N.Y.

Senior Alina Duran (West New York, N.J.) was named the conference's Field Athlete of the Meet with two first place finishes in the shot put and weight throw.

Duran set a facility record in the weight throw with a toss of 17.18 meters to place first overall and then topped the field in the shot put with a mark of 12.04 meters. She blew away the field in the weight throw, besting each competitor by three meters.

The DMR squad of Regan, junior Kelly Freed (Rutherford, N.J.), sophomore Amira Dardir (Jersey City, N.J.) and freshman Sarah Zahran (Southbury Ridge, Conn.) clocked a time of 13:10.86.

Junior Rebecca Tylock (Shrewsbury, Mass.) took second in the pole vault with a cleared height of 3.15 meters, while fellow junior Tiffany Evangelou (Fair Lawn, N.J.) came in third in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.68 seconds.
