COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – Senior Alexandra Van Tuyl finished fifth in the 100-meter hurdles and was named the Centennial Conference (CC) Women's Field Athlete of the Meet as Gettysburg concluded action at the CC Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Sunday at Ursinus College.

The men's team finished the three-day event with 31 points, placing eighth out of nine teams while the women's squad earned a score of 38 points to come in eighth among 10 schools.

Haverford College won the men's team title with a score of 177, edging out Johns Hopkins University by five points. Johns Hopkins claimed the women's title, outdistancing Dickinson College 208.5-116.

Van Tuyl became just the second CC Outdoor Field Athlete of the Meet from Gettysburg, joining Shannon Yates '08, who captured the honor in 2008. Over the first two days of the meet, Van Tuyl won her third-straight title in the heptathlon, setting a school record (4,080 points) in the process, and earned a bronze medal in the long jump. On Sunday, she was timed at 16.26 in the 100-meter hurdles final, her 10th and final event of the meet, counting the seven events of the heptathlon.

Junior Andrew Bay led the men's team, finishing fourth in the 100-meter dash. Last year's runner-up in the event, he was timed at 11.29. Bay was also seventh in the 200-meter dash, clocking 23.10.

A pair of freshmen also earned team points for the Bullet men, as Edward Makinde took seventh in the triple jump (41-6) while Tyler Hinton was eighth in the 110-hurdles (17.36).

Two additional athletes did not score but turned in impressive performances. Junior Tyler Keith took 13 seconds off his personal record (PR) and cracked Gettysburg's all-time top-10 in the 5,000-meter run. He finished 24th in 15:37.30, which places him ninth in school history. In addition, classmate Joe Sharp came in 12th in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:01.87 – a PR by 3.18 seconds – to move into 10th on the Bullets all-time list.

For the women's team, sophomore Celia Hartz topped her PR in the javelin by over five feet, finishing fifth with a throw of 109-6.

Senior Amanda Pellowe ran well in her final conference meet, finishing seventh in the 1,500-meter run. She eclipsed her PR by 2.08 seconds, running 4:45.95, which also moved her up one spot to No. 4 on Gettysburg's all-time chart.

Among the non-scorers, junior Anna Schneider enjoyed a breakthrough race in the 5,000. She exceeded her PR by over a minute, placing 22nd in 19:22.18. Making her performance even more impressive was that it came after running the 10,000 on Friday and the steeplechase on Saturday.
