Allentown, Pa. – The Stevens Institute of Technology women's track & field team won five events across a myriad of disciplines on the second and final day of the Muhlenberg Invitational Friday.

Competing against regional foes Moravian, King's, and DeSales, among others, the Ducks won the 400 meters, 400-meter hurdles, 3,000-meter steeplechase, 5,000 meters, and pole vault.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Isabella Shanley was the only competitor in the 400 meters under 1:00.00, finishing in 57.92 seconds, less than a second off her personal best. Isabel Vogel finished third in 1:01.29 (her personal-best) and Taylor Enes ran 1:03.62 (her personal-best), finishing in sixth.

Anya Sadowski took the top spot in the 400-meter hurdles in 1:09.46, more than four seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.
