The Shippensburg University women's indoor track & field team turned in an all-conference, third-place finish in the distance medley relay on Saturday to get things started at the 2022 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Indoor Championships hosted by Edinboro University.
 
The quartet of Isabelle Gulgert, Kayla Dalhouse, Sydney Morgan and Kyra Gerber ran 12:46.43, trailing only the efforts of Edinboro and Seton Hill. The Raiders had a three-second gap over fourth-place Kutztown.
 
Shippensburg's other points of the day came from freshman Nicola Puggé;, who placed seventh in the pentathlon with a score of 2,910 points. Puggé's most productive event was the 60-meter hurdles, in which she posted a time of 9.74 seconds.
 
The Raiders had five performances in prelims that qualified for Sunday finals, highlighted by Leah Graybill earning the top seed in the 400 meters (57.19 seconds) and the No. 3 seed in the 200 meters (25.01 seconds).
 
Sasha Lee will be the No. 4 seed in the 60-meter hurdles after running 9.25 seconds, and Carson Pennings qualified for her first 60-meter hurdles final with a time of 9.39 seconds. Both women recorded new collegiate bests with their times.
 
Caroline Mastria will join Graybill in the 400-meter final; she earned the No. 6 seed with a time of 59.54 seconds.
 
Adriana Baxter nearly qualified for the 60-meter dash finals after running a new personal best of 7.95 seconds. Baxter finished ninth with the performance.
 
The Raiders are 11th place after the opening day.
