Tayler Dence of the women’s indoor track and field team has been selected as the St. John Fisher College Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending February 26th, 2017.
Dence hit the podium four separate times and qualified for ECACs in three events at the NYSCTC Championships this past weekend, hosted at St. Lawrence University.
The freshman finished runner up in the 60-meter dash with an ECAC mark of 8.06, and third in the 60-meter hurdles at 9.31, tying her previously held personal record, and qualified for ECACs. Dence would then place fourth in the 200-meter dash with an ECAC time of 26.39.
The Hannibal native was also a member of the 4X400-meter relay team with teammates Emily Strong, Chelsea Cleveland, and Sydney Saccone, that finished in fourth place with a time of 4:08.61.
The Cardinals return to action this weekend when they travel to compete in the ECAC Championships.
