GOLDEN EAGLES WHEATLEY NAMED PSAC WOMEN'S TRACK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

            Clarion University sophomore Tasha Wheatley (Saltsburg/Kiski Area) is the PSAC-West women’s Track Athlete of the Week for the week ending April 3.

            Wheatley set the school record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a second-place finish at the Western Pennsylvania Championships Saturday at Carnegie Mellon.

Her time of 11:39.96 is the second best mark in the PSAC this season and beat the previous school record by set by Bridget Sardo in 2003 by nearly eight seconds. She finished second to a Division I runner from Duquesne.

Clarion returns to action Saturday when it hosts a PSAC-West meet.
