ALTOONA — Friday evening’s weather conditions were less than ideal for a region-wide invitational.
The Mountain Lion Classic went on as scheduled, however, and the Bradford girls track and field team returned from Friday’s rain-soaked meet in Altoona with a host of medals. Abbie Nuzzo placed 5th in the triple jump with a leap of 31-9, headlining the Lady Owls’ results.
Abbigail Schleicher added an 8th-place finish for Bradford in the 100-meter dash, finishing in 13.53 seconds. Sophia Asp was 10th in discus with a throw of 81-1, while teammate Kalie Dixon was 18th with a toss of 63-8.
Eliana Curcio was 11th in triple jump, leaping 29-8. Two of the Lady Owl relay teams finished 5th at their respective distances.
The 3200-meter team of Caitlyn Taylor, Bella Prince, Marissa Miller and Korie Dixon was 5th in 10:27, while the 400-meter squad of Kelci Little, Emma Swanson, Alexia Corignani and Miller was 5th in 54.65 seconds.
Miller was Bradford’s lone double winner.
The Lady Owls will host Punxsutawney at 4 p.m. Tuesday for Senior Night, their last home meet of the season.
