EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. — Tatiana Cloud and Summer Murray had a strong days Saturday to lead the Clarion University women’s track and field team at the 2015 PSAC Championships at East Stroudsburg.

Cloud scored or helped score 10 points for the Golden Eagles Saturday leading Clarion to a 12th-place finish at the championships with 19 points. The 12th-place ending tied Clarion’s finish from a year ago.

The sophomores best race was the 400-meter hurdles where she finished second in a time of 1:01.73, which was good enough to be an NCAA Division II provisional-qualifying time. Cloud’s time was just off the school-record time of 1:01.10 set by Alexis Carter in 2012. She will now wait to see if she will be invited to the NCAA Championships, which will be held May 21-23 in Allendale, Mich.

Cloud also was a part of a pair of eighth-place relay teams.

The 4×100-meter relay team placed for the second year finishing in a time of 48.98 seconds. Joining Cloud on the team were Jessica Shomo, Courtney Corban and Anna Pfingstler.

Corban and Pfingstler also joined Cloud and Kelsey Johnson on the 4×400-meter relay team that scored a point with its eighth-place ending in a time of 3:56.81.

Murray, meanwhile, set the school record in the discus with a toss of 141-feet, 4-inches while taking fourth in the event. She broke the previous record of 137-feet, set 18 years ago in 1997 by Lori Dando.

Clarion’s 4×800-meter relay team of Kelsey Murray, Rikki Brumbaugh, Danielle Tarr and Katie Chambers just missed scoring taking 10th in a time of 10:03.44, while Chambers was also 15th in the 1,500-meter run in a time of 5:24.16.

Kari Steuer was also 15th in the discus with a toss of 113 feet, 10-inches.
