YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – For the second day in a row, a Geneva track & field rookie has set a school record at the Youngstown State Mid-Major Invitational. Freshman Emma Parnell surpassed a Golden Tornado record in the women's Triple Jump that has stood for 31 years, the day after Allison Standish set the new Geneva mark in the women's Weight Throw.

Parnell placed eighth in the Triple Jump on Saturday afternoon with a leap of 10.79 meters. She passed the mark of 10.69 meters set by Michele Marchi in 1992. On Friday, Parnell finished 15^th in the Long Jump with a personal best of 4.91 meters.

Other strong performances from the YSU mid-major included sophomore Madison Castro's top 20 finishes in the women's 800 Meter Run (17^th; 2:26.38) and the women's 1 Mile Run (12^th; 5:22.48).

Standish followed up her record-setting mark in the Weight Throw on Friday with a toss in the Shot Put on Saturday of 10.30 meters.

In other action over the weekend, freshman Carmen Medvit ran the 1 Mile at the Penn State Open in a time of 5:01.85, just 0.71 off of her Geneva record in the event, on Friday.

Geneva returns to competition on Saturday, February 4, at Mount Union, the final prep before the NCCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships on February 10-11.
