Track team springs into new season with speed
De Laigelisa's time of 52.78 earned him a second place finish in the 400 meter dash, while his 24.09 in the 200 meter dash was good for sixth place.
On the women's side, senior Kelly Gonzalez took fifth place in the 800 meter run, running a 2:33.28. Senior Jess Chin was the top finisher in the 1500 meter run, running 5:16.72 and finishing in ninth place.
Freshman Sharon Green and senior Allyson Seger both earned second place finishes. Green took second in the 10,000 meter run with her time of 44:51.11, and Seger ran 13:33.14 in the 3000 meter steeplechase.
"Last year, I ran in New York Road Runners races that were much farther distances than high school track meets for fun," said Green. "I couldn't wait to run the 10,000 in college. After the race, I was just exhausted from racing for nearly 45 minutes. I'm looking forward to running it again!"
Both the men and women will continue competition this Saturday as they travel to Allentown, Penn. to compete in the Muhlenberg Invitational.
