Junior Sophia Bostwick from Washington Township smashed the Susquehanna school record in the 10,000-meter run at Bucknell Saturday.
Bostwick ran a 3 ½-minute PR of 37:12.41 at the Bison Outdoor Classic at Christy Matthewson Stadium in Lewisburg, Pa., breaking the school record of 38:28.14 set in 2018 by Erin Reese at the same meet.
Bostwick’s previous PR was 40:51.60 at the Landmark Championships in May on her home track in Selinsgrove.
Bostwick ran 5:00.64 for 1,500 meters last month in Selinsgrove and 18:12.15 earlier this month in York, Pa. She’s No. 3 in school history in the 5,000. Bostwick is also No. 7 in school history in the pole vault at 9-6 ¼. She’s currently 5th in the conference in the pole vault with a 9-2 ¼ clearance in a home meet last month.
How many women can say they’re a school record holder in the 10,000 and ranked in the top five in the conference in the pol vault?
Bostwick’s improvement in college has been enormous. She had PRs of 5:47.47 for 1,600 meters, 12:04.55 for 3,200 meters and 9-0 in the pole vault with the Minutemaids.
