Schneider Collects Penn Relay Bronze, Cedar Crest 4x800m Impresses
On Thursday, Cedar Crest’s Eliana Schneider competed at the Penn Relays in the Javelin. Through four throws, Schneider was sitting in 2nd place with a top throw of 146’11”. Her throw using the standard measurement system was tied with Sophia Scott of Omaha, Nebraska, but was .01 meters behind using the metric system. In the 5th round, Taysha Stubbs of the Bahamas stepped up with a throw of 153’2”, which she followed up with a throw of 154’9” on her final throw. Schneider walked away with an impressive 3rd place finish in a competition that drew some of the best high school throwers from the United States and beyond.
For Schneider, it was her second event of the day, having served as the opening leg of the Cedar Crest 4x800m. With a time of 9:37.23, the Falcons placed 8th out of 18 in their heat. Schneider (2:23.75) led off, with Lizzie Lowe (2:17.48), Audrey Fugate (2:31.49), and Kaddel Howard (2:24.52) following. Across two heats of large schools, Cedar Crest placed 14th of 34.
In action on Friday at Franklin Field, Palmyra’s Mason Bucks is scheduled to compete in the Pole Vault.
