Carsyn Koch has also been named the Women’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week for the second-straight week following her record breaking performance at the Ohio Northern Invitational.
Koch posted a first place finish in the 500-meter race and helped her 4x400 meter relay team also capture a first place finish. In the 500-meter race, Koch only needed to outrun one other runner in the two person event, but she wasn’t just looking for a first place finish.
She posted a G-MAC record time of 1:14.41 (after it was converted for track size) in the event - over three seconds faster than any time posted this season and beat the conference record by about two and a half seconds, set last year by Nicole Burlinson of Ursuline.
In winning the 4x400 meter race, Cedarville posted its fastest time of the season (4:01.76 - after conversion), but still trail Ursuline’s record time set in December by about eight seconds.
