FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tsiknas and Saverese hit PSAC marks in the Pole Vault at Cornell

ITHACA, N.Y. – Senior Alexa Tsiknas and junior Tyler Saverese each hit Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) qualifying marks in the pole vault to highlight the Cornell Relays for the Mansfield University track and field team Saturday afternoon.

“I'm truly excited about the way we performed in our opening meet of the year,” said head women's coach Nadine Faustin-Parker. “Two PSAC qualifiers, a school record and a couple of personal best means we're off to a great start.”

Tsiknas, who hasn't competed since May of 2011, qualified for the conference championships with her mark of 10' 4”. Savarese finished with a height of 13' 9”, punching his ticket to the conference meet in February.

Olivia Lopes broke the school record in the 300m with her time of 41.72. The sophomore bested the previous record of 42.22, which she set last season at Cornell.

The Mountaineers are back in action on Saturday, Dec. 8 when they travel to the Golden Flash Gala hosted by Kent State and the Ithaca Quad meet hosted by Cornell.
