Chappell-Dick cruises by own school record
Eastern Mennonite University, Harrisonburg, Va., sent three athletes to Saturday's Mason Spring Invitational, hosted by D-I George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. The meet, loaded with D-I athletes, was a final tune-up for the trio for next week's ODAC Championships.
Both of Eastern Mennonite's women ran in the 800m, and freshman Hannah Chappell-Dick (Bluffton) destroyed her own school record and crossed with the top D-III time at the meet. She flashed across the line in 2:14.34, shaving more than three seconds off her previous record of 2:17.47.
The Old Dominion Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships are this coming Friday and Saturday, hosted by Washington and Lee in Lexington, Va.
