St. John Fisher University Athletics

St. John Fisher College’s Taylor Youngkrans (Oneida/Oneida) of the women’s track and field team has been named the College’s Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending February 23, 2014.

At the RIT Orange and Brown Invitational on Friday, Youngkrans broke one program record and set two personal-best performances.

The junior broke the school-record in the weight throw with a distance of 15.30 meters, eclipsing her own program-record set earlier this season, falling just two tenths short of first place.

Youngkrans set another personal-best in the shot put with a throw of 10.31 meters.

Fisher track and field will return to action this weekend at the NYSCTC Championship in Potsdam, N.Y.
