LEWISBURG, Pa. – Graduate student Sophia Ryan was named the Women's Most Outstanding Performer, highlighting Binghamton's performance at the Bucknell/Gulden Indoor Track & Meet on Saturday at the Gerhard Field House. The Bearcats were second out of seven teams in the women's standings and third out of six squads in the final men's results.

Ryan, who was competing in her first track & field meet for Binghamton, clocked a first-place time of 2:48.31. In addition to breaking the previous school record of 2:49.83 (set by Alexis Hatcher in 2015) but also the facility record of 2:50.14, which was set by D. Startare of Penn State back in 1983.

Ryan, who transferred from Utah in the summer of 2022, competed for the Bearcats in cross country the past two seasons but redshirted in both indoor and outdoor track & field in 2022-23. This is her final full track season.

In addition to Ryan's record-breaking performance, Binghamton posted five other individual winners – including three men and two women.

On the men's side, redshirt freshman Brian Luciano won the weight throw (65-5), graduate student Mark Scanlon captured the mile (4:16.40) and junior Joey Cardascia took top honors in the (49.59). Luciano broke his own school record of 63-7 ½, which he recorded last month when he won the same event at the Cornell/Big Red Invitational.

Other women's individual winners included senior Jenna Chan in the 60 hurdles (8.58) and sophomore Alyssa Armitage in the pole vault (12-7 ½).

Runner-up finishes on the men's side were turned in by sophomore Samson Joseph in the 400 (49.59) and senior Brandon Love in the pole vault (15-3).

For the Bearcat women, freshman Tatum Norris was second in the women's pole vault (11-7 ¾) and  junior Lucciana Robertson was the runner-up in the high jump (5-4 1/3). Also finishing second were senior Gianna Hoose in the weight throw (50-3 1/2), junior Jennifer Mui in the mile (5:12.19) and graduate student Sophia Morone in the 200 (25.61).
