Alexis Tepper, a UMBC transfer in her first race for Bloomsburg, ran the fastest 3,000 by a Bloomsburg woman in 11 years Saturday in Lewisburg, Pa.
Tepper, from Cherry Hill East, ran 10:01.20 and placed 2nd in the Gulden Invitational on a flat track at Bucknell’s Gerhard Fieldhouse, 1-100th of a second behind Bucknell’s Bradley Weldon.
Her time is fastest in the PSAC so far this year.
Tepper’s time is fastest by a Bloomsburg woman since Kate Dodds of Upper Dublin High set the school record of 9:52.10 in a meet at Ithaca’s Barton Hall in February 2024.
Tepper ran 2:14.77, 4:57.08 and 9:56.83 while she was at University of Maryland Baltimore County.
