READING, Pa. – Megan Gasnick continued a string of sensational performances with two individual wins and a relay victory to lead the TCNJ women's track and field team at the Alvernia Winter Invitational on Saturday.
 
Fresh off an NJAC track athlete of the week worthy performance at the Lions Indoor Invitational last weekend, Gasnick stayed hot with a pair of individual victories. She won the 200-meter dash with a personal-best 25.78, leading a pack of four Lions in the top five as Maria Grill (26.53) took second and Ashlyn MacLure (27.00) and Valandra Riggins (27.04) were fourth and fifth, respectively.
 
Gasnick also finished first in the 400-meter dash, crossing the line in 58.35 seconds. Amanda Demko placed third in 1:00.08 for TCNJ.
 
Alli Uhl added to the Lions' haul with a winning run in the 800 meters, seizing the top spot in 2:17.92.

Gasnick, Demko, Uhl, and Grill combined to take the 4x400-meter relay in 4:03.83, about six seconds ahead of the runners-up from Kutztown.
 
Eliza Bruncaj finished third in the 60-meter hurdles with a 9.50. Kaela Edwards was sixth at 9.67 after posting a personal-best 9.46 in prelims, and Victoria Purritano placed seventh.
 
Riggins led an impressive effort in the 60-meter dash, placing fourth in a time of 8.17 seconds, matching her personal best. Grill was sixth in 8.22 and MacLure finished seventh at 8.35.
 
TCNJ also performed well in the distance events. Riley Stellitano was runner-up in the 5,000 meters with a time of 19:42.17, while Salini Iyer (10:59.25) and Kelsey Kobus (11:03.08) placed fourth and sixth, respectively, in the 3,000 meters.
 
Kayla Harnett headlined the field events with a second-place showing in the high jump (5-0.25).
 
Julia Dakwar notched a new PR by clearing 10 feet in the pole vault, while Zoe Iovino placed sixth in the triple jump (34-0.75) and Bruncaj took ninth in the long jump (16-0.50).
