Corkum Qualifies at North Central
May 18, 2007
NAPERVILLE, Ill. – Michelle Corkum (McMurray, Pa./Peters Township) moved herself up the qualifying list for the NCAA Division III National Meet, smashing her career best by over a minute in the 10,000-meter run, finishing the 6.2-mile race in a time of 36:43.88. Her time puts her in 17th place in the final weekend of the season, as the NCAA brought the top 20 women’s 10k runners to the championships a year ago.
Katie Pankowski (Pittsburgh, Pa./Woodland Hills) took third in the javelin throw with a toss of 127-feet, 7-inches, but was unable to improve her provisional mark of 130-10, as she sits in 20th place heading into the remainder of the season’s final weekend.
The Gregory Meet continues through Friday, before the team comes back for a partial week of training for the NCAA Division III National Meet, held in Osh Kosh, Wisconsin.
