To immense sadness of the
entire LHU community, Mark
Rosenblatt, a sophomore in
sports administration, "awesome kid" and "fun-loving
guy," according to his friends,
passed away at 3:30 p.m. on
April 6.
Donald Walker, Clinton
County coroner, stated that
Mark's body was found on
Monday in his home on W.
Main Street. The case is still
under the coroner's investigation, but Walker did confirm
that it was self-inflicted.
Dr. Carol Latronica, Dean
of Students Development, was
notified that afternoon.
"A lot of people were
touched by Mark and if the
students want to do something
more we will," said Latronica
ofa memorial service.
Son of Rick and Susan
Rosenblatt and a middle child
between two sisters, Mark will
be remembered as a cheerful
person who always had a huge

"He always had a smile on
his face and went out of his
way for other people," said
Stacey Borgia, one of Mark's
friends.
One of his most prominent
features was his curiosity for
the world and people in it.
His close friends Julie
Stocklos and Caroline Acosta
remember Mark always asking
questions and wondering what
other people's lives were like.
"He was always excited
about everything," said Acosta.
to Stocklos,
According
Mark enjoyed lifting, working
out, surfing and attending athletic events on campus. He also
took pride in his clothing style.
"Shoes and hats, he had
hundreds of them," Stocklos
said.
What is remembered the
most about Mark, however, is
his eagerness to help others
around him.
"I've never met a nicer person," said Borgia.
"He would do anything to
help anyone," confirmed Paul

Poff, assistant professor in
health and physical education
department, who was very
close to the family.
Poff said that he and Mark
went to the same high school,
Council Rock High School in
Newtown, Pa.
Poff, who was one ofMark's
instructors this semester, also
said that Mark used to babysit
his son.
"He is a part of my family,"
said Poff.
According to him, Mark
was a great person and he was
very popular on campus.
"He could always bring you
up when you're down," said

Stocklos.
All ofhis friends agree that
they have never heard anything negative being said
about Mark.
"No one ever said anything
bad about Mark basically
because there was nothing bad
to say," said Borgia. "He will
be greatly missed by everyone."
Mark was born on January
19, 1987. He was 22 years old.

New SCC officers look to improve involvement

As a result of last week's election,
Christopher Lunden and Brent

While at MCCC, he served in

"Opportunities opened, doors

handle the job.
"I looked at what the requirements were and what the vice president had to do and according to what
they had to do, I felt comfortable taking that position," said Frederick.
The vice president's roles are varied.
"I have a ways and means com(

Lunden hopes to continue using
his role as president to petition
administration on students' behalf.
"I want to continue allowing students to voice their opinions and
take those to administration to get
them involved," he said.
Lunden admits, though, that
there is only so much he can do.
"You can't always say 'yes' to
everything and you also have to figure out, in the administration's eyes,
what's the most important way to
present it to them," said Lunden.
Frederick hopes to use his position to increase involvement between
students and the SCC.
"I want to get the senate involved.

The
students
showed up to Triangle
Park, downtown Lock
Haven, in order to raise
awareness for literacy.
Though the weather
was not ideal, the
turnout was still good,
according to Laura
Novak, the organizer of
the event.
"They did a good job
out

toughing
weather and staying
throughout the night,"
Novak said about the
students staying for the
event even though the
conditions were not
ideal.
The attendees experienced rain, wind and
cold weather for most of
the night, which created problems when they
were trying to build
their cardboard houses.
Like in past years
for the other sleep out
events, the students
built cardboard houses
to stay the night in.
Though some did
spend the night in their
cardboard homes, others opted for tents to
keep dry from the
weather.
Michelle Bates from
the
Development
Center for Adults
stopped by the event
and spoke to the atten-

center and the services
that they offer, as well
as literacy, as this was
the night's issue.
Bates, a former
school teacher, started
off by defining literacy
as "an individual's ability to read, speak and
write in English."
She also told the
group how 26 percent of
people drop out before
they graduate from
high school.
"It's not because
they're stupid, I hate
that word; it's some
opportunity or choice
that happened," Bates
said on the dropout percentage.
It is also important
that the teaching is
done, early by reading
to the children.
Bates showed how
literacy affects society
by giving the example
of the election.
The election was
greatly affected by literacy since some voters
were unable to choose a
candidate based on the
issues, since they could
not read up on the candidate.
As

the
Development Center

es in prisons.

Bates is one of the
teachers that goes to
the prisons and admitted that she was a bit
apprehensive when she
first began going.
Bates also talked
about the factors that
deter adults
from
entering the programs.
Time is one of the
obstacles in the way of
adults, especially since
half of the students in
the programs are single
parents.
The students also
are lacking in confidence, Bates noted.
"My biggest job is to
really be a cheerleader," Bates said of
having to keep the students motivated during
their free programs.
After Bates' speech,
the attendees were
given time to work on
their cardboard houses.

All LHU students are welcome to
take advantage ofthe opportunity to
study abroad this summer in Spain
and visit France afterward.
Students will be enrolling in the
Seminar course, exploring Spain and
its culture.
The class is taught in English
and all majors are invited to enroll,
regardless of foreign language or
major.
The study abroad program will be
from July 4 to July 31.
On the way back from Spain, students will be stopping in Paris for
three days as a conclusion to the program.

As a part of enrollment, all students will present a topic and lead
class discussions. Before studying
abroad, students will choose a topic
and present their first discussion.
While studying abroad, the student will then experience their topic,
for example, bull fighting.
The student will attend a bull
fight, interview spectators, matadors
or even those opposed to the fights.
Lastly, students will present a
final paper at the end of the study
abroad period.
While in Spain, students will
have the opportunity to explore its

culture,

sports,

historical sites,

leisure activities and its people.
Students will tour museums and

/

famous locations.
While staying in Madrid, the students will be living in a residence
hall similar to a mini-campus.
Unlike the dormitories at LHU,
this residence hall allows students
their own room with private bath
and shower, two cafeterias, a library,
chapel, theater, swimming pool and
more.
The student's cost for the course
is the same as LHU's tuition, but
there are other expenses.
While not attending class or tours
students are free to go out on their
own, though it is suggested that students stay with at least one other
person or small groups.
"This is a great opportunity for
any student, and all students are
invited," said Dr. Enrique Herrera,
associate professor of Spanish.
"Students can take advantage of
exploring Spain first-hand. They will
have the chance to re-explore its culture and historical wealth. They will
learn a lot in just four weeks. It is
likely that students won't get this
chance anywhere else. It is something they can only encounter in college."
For more information about the
study abroad program this summer

the Institute for International
Studies in Akeley.
Keep in mind that there may be
enrollment deadlines.

An
accomplished
motion picture animator Jerod Chirico spoke
about his work and
experiences
on
Saturday in
Price
Performance Center.
Chirico, who finished his undergraduate work at Edinboro
University before landing a job with Blue Sky
Studios, Inc., has contributed character animation to such popular
works as "Ice Age," "Ice
Age 2: The Meltdown,"
"Horton Hears a Who,"
"Robots"
and "The
Adventures of Jimmy
Neutron: Boy Genius."
"I am pleased that
Jerod Chirico was able
to come to Lock Haven
University," said Jason
Bronner, Art professor.
"It is rare to have someone of his caliber and
someone
with
his
knowledge of the movie
and animation business
here on campus."
Using his Mac laptop in coordination with
the equipment set up in
Price, Chirico explained
the typical day of an

to work at his desk,
which often spills over

"It is hand drawn
and manipulated using
Maya," said Chirico.
"Sometimes it takes
weeks to draw and,
using Maya, to manipulate the character to
create a scene."
Step by step, Chirico
explained the techniques considered by
the artist while in the
conceptual stages of
animation.
"As the artist, once
you can control these
four aspects, the creation process becomes a
natural reaction similar to a tennis player
hitting a tennis ball,"
said Chirico.
After the conceptualization stage, the animator listens to the dialogue associated with
the scene.
"If you're lucky they
love what you've done,"
said Chirico. "But in
most cases you listen to
their feedback and go
back to work at your
desk fixing mistakes
and trying to make the
scene that they want."
Afterward he took

"I am especially

said Bronner.
"As an art student

what I'm doing and
where I'm going after

BflBl

The forces of globalization have caused
increased interaction
between people, cultures and countries.
In order to get a better grasp on each
other's culture and tradition, it is essential to
study the history of the
foreign culture.
As India, the world's
largest
democracy,
emerges in Asia as a
world power, it is
important for people to
become more familiar
with the country.
Knowledge of this
history will assist people in understanding
how relations between
India and the U.S.
evolved.
On April 2, LHU
students were given
the opportunity to listen and ask questions
from two scholars from
India.
These two Indian
men were able to give
deep insight about
their field of study in
two separate presentations.
Dr. Laxman Satya,
a professor from LHU's
history
department,
arranged the presentation.
In addition to the
presentation in the
planetarium, the two
visitors also spoke in
Satya's Nationalism of
Asia course.
The small class setting allowed the members of the class to
interact and talk with
the scholars on the
research that they had

conducted.

The first presentation was given by Dr. S.

Oriental College in
Dharmapuri, India.
He lectured on iron
and wootz steel manufacturing in medieval
India.
Jaikishan is one of
the first scholars in his
field researching the
metallurgical history of
India.
Jaikishan presented
evidence for the presence of the steel industry in India during the
medieval period.
Out of 18,000 villages
found, over
11,000 have remnants
of the steel industry.
Near 1000 B.C.,
wootz, durable high
carbon steel, is believed
to have originated from
India.
The evolution of the
smelting process in
stone furnaces was also
explained.
The production of
steel in India was far
Jaikishan
reaching;
explained that 50 tons
of iron from India was
used to construct the
famous London Bridge.
Evidence suggests
that medieval India
had a large and
advanced trade network established.
Forestry in the environment was the topic
of the second lecture
from Dr. S. Abdul
Thaha. Thaha is a professor at Maulana Azad
National
Urdu
University
in
Hyderabad, India.
Thaha
explained
how the Indian people
were being exploited by
the British, especially
when resources were
involved.
He said that the
British
government
always followed the
policy of imperial needs
over that of the local
people.

Thaha
also
explained how the huge
demand for wood for
the British Empire and
the creation of railroads across India
began to affect the local
people.
Forests were being
decimated and people
were losing a way oflife
because the local people depended on the
forest to sustenance.
"We presented in
Chicago a few days ago,
it was a great experience. This is my first
trip to the United
States and it has been
nice to meet the people
here. It has been interesting to see America's
cities and infrastructure. I enjoy comparing
the two countries education system, too. U.S.
students are much
more interactive and
seeking clarifications
about the material
given," said Thaha.
The two presentations were followed
with an interactive discussion.
The
presentation
was able to give the
audience a window into
the past; this shed
some light on the history and culture of India.
"I found the speakers Dr. Jaikishan and
Dr. Thaha to be very
interesting. I was eager
to learn more about the
history of India. I also
found it amazing to
learn that Indian steel
was traded in other
places in the ancient
world," said Wesley
Toth, a sophomore history major.
The audience was
able to hear first-hand
the investigation and
discoveries of these two
men.

Letters to the Editor
shows poor character and a well educated individ-

When I began scanning the March 26th edition
of the Eagle Eye, an article about dress codes
caught my eye. Aa I was enjoying a drink at
Starbucks with some fellow classmates, I became
increasingly frustrated with the write up. The article was not only offensive but highly judgmental.
The overall idea that a dress code should be implicated at Lock Haven University is completely
ridiculous and I can confidently say I am not the
only one who feels this way.
For many students, how we dress is a way of self
expression and suggesting a dress code is like suggesting that we should change who we are to conform to a "standard model of dress." If a student
comes from a high school where uniforms were
required and the only form of self-expression is a
different colored ribbon in their hair, then college is
a place to experiment with their wardrobe. A dress
code should not prevent someone from trying out
new looks.
Trotman's article stated that college is not a
place to be neither glamorous nor wear pajamas to
class. How does the way you dress have an effect on
your academic performance? If someone needs to be
"glamorous" to feel confident, they should have
every right to do so, no matter what others think.
Likewise, if a straight "A" student has labs every
morning at 8 a.m. and he or she doesn't have the
extra primp, pajamas are better than skipping a
class. Judging someone by the way they dress

ual should have more sense than to do so.
Another point that should be addressed is the
fact that college is expensive and buying the latest
trends is not always a luxury. If someone is thousands of dollars in debt from student loans, I doubt
their main concern is whether or not they can
afford the spring line at Macy's. If a student has to
shop at thrift stores because of a tight budget, their
wardrobe is not going to be at the same level as
someone who doesn't glance at price tags.
Trotman makes a statement about college
preparing us for our future jobs and that we should
show equal respect for both environments. This is
true, but does that mean future surgeons should
wear scrubs all day? Or that a business student
with hopes of becoming a CEO should dress in
suits? I don'tthink that would be entirely practical.
Many students majoring in health and physical
education have several activity classes throughout
the day and comfortable clothing is a necessity for
this type of schedule.
Overall, I did not agree with any points that
Trotman made in the article. Why should one person's opinion about what is acceptable set the standard for thousands of students? Additional stress
in the morning about "appropriate clothing" could
not possibly have a positive effect on the students

at Lock Haven.

How is the hypocrisy
of politicians so welcome
in this country after an
election run by Barack
Obama promising to rid
government of petty politics and corruption?
Democrats
from
Treasury
Secretary
Timothy Geithner and
Kansas
Governor
Kathleen Sebelius to
Nancy Killefer and Tom
Daschle share one thing
in common — a failure to
adhere to what they
preach. They claim that
taxing the rich benefits
the lower class, but the
twisted fact is that while
they call for taxes on the
rich, they do not pay
their own.
These
politicians
claim to have ousted the
Republican Party to rid
Washington of secrecy
and corruption, but these
past months have shown
that the situation is the
complete opposite.
With unpaid taxes —
as much as $146,000 in
Daschle's case, according
to the New York Post —
these Cabinet nominees
are in no position to
speak about
fixing
Washington while they
simply "forget" to pay
their own share. All talk
and no action seems to be
the new attitude of the
Democrats.

After claiming he
would
change
Washington, Obama has
obviously done just that.
He has produced corrupt
nominee after corrupt
nominee,
including
Geithner and Sebelius,
whose failure to pay their
taxes did not bar them
from Cabinet positions.
Had this occurred
during former President
George W. Bush's term,
the Democrats would
have called for indictments and immediately
responded with trials for
not paying those taxes.
This is simply a double
standard perpetrated by
the liberal Democrats in

pass and avoid punishment? Obviously not —
but this is exactly whatis
happening
in
Washington.
Many blindly blame
the Bush administration
for the fall of Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac, but
Bush and his administration warned Congress
and pushed it to reform
its dealings with these
insurers multiple times
during his term. Having
control
of
gained
Congress in 2006, the
Democrats, of course,
refused any reform. They
refused in part because
many congressional liberals directly benefited
from these massive com-

panies. Despite that,
Democrats still try to pin
the hlame on the Bush

administration.
The king and greatest
financial beneficiary of
the fall of Fannie and
Freddie is Rep. Barney
Frank. In 2003 he said of
the companies, "I do not
think we are facing any
kind of a crisis," and
three years later he said
they posed no "threat to
the Treasury," as reported by the Wall Street
Journal. Only as long ago
as the presidential election did Obama receive
$111,849 from Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac,
making him the "largest
recipient of political
funds from (the) mortgage giants," according to
the Los Angeles Times.
This truly goes to show
that the Democrats in
Washington can get
away with virtually anything in this era of
"change."
Despite these accusations,
liberals
will
defend
staunchly
Democrats and make
any excuse to protect
Obama. Again, this is
obviously a double standard. If Americans want
corrupt leaders who don't
they
practice what
clearly
preach, they
should continue to elect
Democrats into power.
This is not a blind
accusation. That so many
of Obama's failed nominees have "forgotten" to
even pay their taxes
makes it obvious that

these politicians are simply deceiving people who
will blindly follow them.
Perhaps the root
cause of the Democrats'
refusal to see themselves
behind the fall of Fannie
and Freddie is the liberal
tendency to blame Bush
for anything they wish.
Obama's failures can
simply be blamed on
Bush, and the new president and Congress have
unfairly blamed this one
man for problems they
have caused.
For all the charges
made against Bush for
his decisions, he at least
did not say one thingand
do another. Obama, on
the other hand, while
seeming to take the high
road with talk of ridding
Washington of corruption, has been surrounding himself with corrupt
politicians.
Obama might be popular, but his eloquent
words change as quickly
as the wind, and America
is beginning to see right
through them. Bush was
unpopular, but he spoke
with conviction and honesty. That is because he
wasn't a politician at
heart — he was a man
who did what he thought
was right.
I can only hope this
nation will reclaim its
grace and decency and,
with blessings from the
Almighty, return to its
and
prosperous
admirable days.

Plan B pill is apolitical
Editorial Board
Cornell Daily Sun
Cornell U.
U-VVIRE
Based on a federal
court ruling last month,
the age to obtain Plan B
without a prescription
will soon be lowered from
18 to 17 years old. The
verdict was reached as
the result of a lawsuit
the F.D.A.,
against
which stated that the
previous policy was
formed based on inappropriate concessions to
conservative lobbyists in
the Bush administration.
While most Cornell
women are already over
17, the ruling will still
have an" effect on the climate in which they
receive contraceptives,
particularly Plan B.
While Plan B is currently available to students
without a prescription, it
must be distributed by a
pharmacist — an obstacle that can be daunting

for many women. The
recent ruling included a
recommendation
that
this protocol be reversed,
in order to allow all
women to obtain Plan B
as quickly and anonymously as possible.
The court's ruling
comes on the heels of
other laudable changes
to birth control policy
under
the
Obama
administration, notably
the reversal ofthe global
gag rule that denied
funding to programs providing abortions and the
reinstating of Medicaid
exemptions that reduce
the cost of birth control
for the uninsured.
With the United
States currently boasting one of the highest
abortion rates among
developed nations, these
changes represent an
accurate response to the
dire need for more comprehensive and available
birth control methods.
The
president's
these
approach
to
has
been
changes
refreshingly non-incendi-

ary. Rather than change
the global gag order on
abortion with fanfare on
the anniversary of Roe v.
Wade, a selling point for
many past administrations, Obama did so quietly the day after. This
move, in addition to his
nomination of aisleKathleen
straddling
Sebelius as Secretary of
Health and Human
Services, suggests a
trend toward putting
women's sexual health
first, beyond partisan
sniping.
Within the bubble of
Cornell, we live among
many who assume that
birth control and emergency
contraceptives
should
and will
always be available
widely, cheaply and sans
stigma. Yet in many
communities, the services provided by Gannett
are too often the exception, as opposed to the
norm.
Many students entering an unsure work climate may find themselves suddenly at the

—

—

mercy of Medicaid policies when buying birth
control, or faced with
obtaining Plan B in a
community less accepting of their sexual choices. These policies will
also dictate the United
States' ability to provide
sexual health aid in
developing countries.
If anything, the cushion provided by Cornell's
sexual health services
should provide us the
freedom to educate ourselves about and participate in discussions of
wider-reaching sexual
health policies. All too
frequently, reproductive
debates degenerate into
overly-politicized shouting matches. Instead,
let's look to these
changes and the new
administration's handling of them, as a starting point for a more
rational forum — one
that values our bodies
above our political agendas.

Sexual assault survivors' voices heard
William Dowd
Staff Reporter
wdowdfalhup.edu

Awareness was raised, and healing took place during "Take Back the
Night," an event organized in Lock
Haven's Triangle Park by Clinton
County Women's Center for Sexual
Assault Awareness Day on April 2.
The center decorated Triangle
Park with 71 balloons. Each balloon
represented a survivor who had come
to the center following a sexual
assault incident in the 2007-2008 fiscal year.
This 71 survivors figure is slightly lower than the 86 survivors in
2006 - 2007 fiscal year; however, it
doesn't represent all sexual assault
survivors in Clinton County for that
year, for many cases go unreported.
Three balloon colors were used to
represent sexual assault victims: 16
red balloons flew for children, 38 teal
balloons flew for adults, and 17
white ones flew for friends, family or
significant others who needed guidance from the center on how to counsel those who revealed they had been
sexually assaulted.
The balloons were lit at dusk.
"These numbers only represent
those we've helped at the center,"
said Julie Condo, a staff member of
the center.

notion that victims of sexual assault
are taken advantage of.
For whatever reason (rape,
incest, sexual abuse, etc.) perpetrators do it, it's always for a reason of
gaining power, stripping the victim
from their identity or voice.
Participating in the event offers
survivors an opportunity to get their
voice back, their identity and their
power, once a transition from victim
to survivor occurs.
"Take Back the Night" is an international movement and organization
that believes in speaking out against
this type of violence.
Speaking out will help bring
empowerment and courage to others
for coming out as well.
Cindy Love, the director of the
women's center, shattered her
silence at the evening event 36 years
after her own sexual assault experience.
"I never told anybody, except my
husband and roommate," she said,
having had a sexual assault experience when she was only 16 years old.
While in Romania, she was an
ambassador for friendship on behalf
of the United Nations performing in
a drill team.
A lifeguard at one of the hotels
forced himself on her while they
were alone in an elevator.

designed to give survivors of sexual assault a voice.

knows no boundaries.
The first woman spoke of her
experience involving three men raping her in Williamsport.
The second one spoke of being
sexually molested by her stepmother
as a child, and the last spoke of her
boyfriend not knowing what 'stop'
meant.
After testimonies, the crowd was
emotional; cries and hugs were scattered throughout. Then the crowd
was led around the sidewalks of the
park by Traci Bletz, legal adviser for
the center.
People held signs reading: "Don't
blame the victim," "Break the
silence," and "No means no."
Bletz led the crowd in a chant
that went like this: "Survivors
unite/Take back the nightAVe will
not be victimized!"
Condo remembers when the first
"Take Back the Night" rally occurred
in 1994.
"We had two groups: one group
walking from Clinton County
Courthouse and the other walking
from the Woman Infant Center along
Bellefonte Avenue," said Condo.

concerning sexual assault that I
haven't known about in this town for
four years," said Paulette Davison,
23, a senior social work major, who
took a lot from her first experience
participating in "Take Back the
Night." "I was shocked to find 71 people were victims," she said noting
that a lot of this type of violence is
kept under the rug.
As an intern of the center,
Davison was asked to give a brief
history of "Take Back the Night."
She announced the organizations
first rally was held in 1976 at the
International Tribunal on Crimes
Against Women where women
walked the streets of Belgium with
lit candles. Now the organization
has turned into an international
movement for eradicating human
violence across the board.
According to Condo, this evening
has carried the same goals as the
first rally in 1976.
"We're creating a feeling of collectiveness, of togetherness... the night
is also to honor those who've been
sexually assaulted in our community," she said.
The night's purpose can be
summed up in what Shannon
Huseth, outreach coordinator for the
center, had to say: "People shouldn't
be ashamed or embarrassed to tell
their sexual assault experience. It
can inspire, it can really help others."
According to Huseth, Clinton
County Women's Center is one of 63
women's centers in the state of
Pennsylvania.
In 2007 to 2008, the center
reported over 866 people coming the
center because of domestic or sexual
violence in Clinton County alone.

Lacrosse delivers huge upset against Gannon
T Kris Glad

kglad@lhup.edu

With five games left
in the season, the No. 8
Lady Eagles (8-1, 4-1
PSAC West) made a
strong push for the post
season in their most
recent games, cruising
past Seton Hill (3-10)
on Saturday and upsetting No. 6 Gannon
University (9-3, 3-2
PSAC West) 9-8 on
Wednesday. Both wins
extend the Lady Eagles
current winning streak
to three.

With both Gannon
and
Lock
Haven
ranked among the top
10 in the nation, this
match was sure not to
disappoint fans as both
teams are trying to
make a strong playoff
push. The Lady Eagles
didn't let the fact that
they were the visiting
team stop them.
"There was nothing
more important than
winning that game. It
was the only thing that
was going to keep us
surviving in the conference and in the country, if we want to go to
the NCAA, it means
pretty much winning
the conference or taking second in the conference and I s*ay winning the conference
because what is the
point, if you can't win it
all," said Head Coach
Kristen Selvage.
Gannon struck first
scoring their first goal

almost seven minutes
into the match. Less
than a minute later
Allison Berger tied it
up for Lock Haven.
Gannon proceeded to
come right back jumping out to a 3-2 lead,
eventually turning into
a 6-3 lead.
The Lady Eagles
quickly changed the
momentum of the game
with 46 seconds left in
the first half, as
Kayleigh

scored the first of six
unanswered goals for
LHU. Amber Hoch
would put the Lady
Eagles within one as
they entered half time.
With the momentum firmly behind
them Lock Haven let
loose on the Lady

scored the first goal of
the second half to tie
the match at six apiece.
Hoch and Titus combined for the next three

Track and field capture titles in PSAC challenge
Kris Glad
Sports Editor
kglad@lhup.edu
After taking a week

off, the track and field
teams traveled to PSAC
rival California' (Pa.)
Saturday to compete in
the
PSAC
West
Challenge. The week of
rest really helped out
both the men's and
women's teams as they
both captured first

place.
"I think overall, the
team competed really
well," said co-head
coach
Heather
Leverington.
The men's team captured nine individual
and team events on
their way to recording
247.5 points on the day,
blowing away the competition. The closest
team was Slippery
Rock with 140 points on
the day.
Leading the way for
the Bald Eagles was
Chris
Edelman.
Edelman took two individual events along
with being part of the
men's 4 x 400 meter
relay. Edelman took
first in both the 200
and 400 m dash. In the
200 he finished first
with a time of 21.83,
edging out teammate
Greg Mock, by .03 seconds. In his other first
place finish Edelman
finished with a time of
47.81, which qualifies
him for the NCAA outdoor tournament in
May.

Edelman along with
Steve Roberts, Kevin
Moore
and
Ben
McConnell finished the
4 x 400 m relay in
3:20.60. They beat out
other
eight
teams
including two others
from LHU.
Randy Sylvia was
the only other solo double-winner for the Bald
Eagles. Sylvia took first
place in both the discus
and hammer throw. In
the discus he threw for
a distance 47.05 m. and
in the hammer throw
he threw for a mark of
51.33 m, establishing a
school record.
In both of the throwing events, Lock Haven
captured the top spots.
In the hammer throw
they went 1-2 in finishes and for the discus
the Bald Eagles went 12-3. Chad Yurchick
took both second place
finishes, while Logan
Wolfe took third in the
discus.
The other four top
finishes came from the
track events. In the 100
m dash Greg Mock finished with a time of
10.73. Mitch Miller
took first place in the
5000 m run with his
time of 15:23.85. Miller
was the only Bald
Eagle in the event.
Brandon Pomerantz
took the top spot in the
1500 m dash with his
of
time
3:57.82.
Pomerantz along with
Nathan Zondlo and
Nick Hilton gave LHU
three racers within the

fourth place with her
distance of 36.08 m.
Alaina Leonard took
first in hammer throw,
throwing for a distance
of 47.92 m.
In the long jump the
Lady Eagles went 1-23-4. Malika Miller took
first with her distance
10.68 m. Following
behind was Kristie
Warren with her distance of 10.61 m.
Edelman and Cassie
Snider came in third
and fourth respectively.

"I walked away from
the meet knowing what
things I had to work on
in regards to technique
to help improve my performances,"
said
Warren.
The Lady Eagles
were also able to have
significant finishes particularly in the track
events. Shala Simms
took first in the 800 m
run with her time of
2:15.59.
Lindsey
Lambert captured first
place in the 3000 m
finishing
run,
in
10:32.75.
In the 10,000 m run
April Salinas was lone
Lady Eagle to compete
in the event. Out of the
four runners in the
event she was also the
only one to finish the
race finishing with a
time of 47:12.46
