Jarvis Tops Previous Best, School Record in the Pole Vault at KSU Tune-Up

Kent, Ohio -- Junior Stephanie Jarvis broke her own school record and personal best mark on Saturday by clearing 3.40m in the pole vault to claim sixth at the Kent State Tune-Up.

Jarvis' previous best mark of 3.36m was set in 2006 and her 3.40m mark betters second place by .35m.

In addition to Jarvis, three other Penguins set personal-best, top-10 school records at the meet on the women's side.

Junior Alexis Hall threw a personal best distance of 17.04m in the weight throw, finishing seventh, ranking second all-time in school history.

Sophomore Marissa Opper and freshman Kaitlyn Griffith also had personal best throws in the weight throw. Opper threw a distance of 15.22m, while Griffith threw a distance of 14.79m in the event.

R.D. Goodright, a senior led the men with a fifth place finish in the 800m with a time of 1:52.38. Goodright's time is a personal-best and now ranks fourth in school history.

Other top performers for the men include seniors Michael Perri and Mark Lipinsky. Perri claimed eighth in the 400m with a personal-best time of 48.66. Lipinsky also ran a personal-best time of 8.60 in the 60m hurdles and finished in 11th.

The Penguins will travel to Greencastle, Ind. on Saturday where the women will look to defend their Horizon League title and the men will try to surpass Milwaukee at the league's Indoor Championships at DePauw University.
