Macon Races to ECAC DII Athlete of the Week Honors

2016 Feb 25

Mansfield University's Allison Macon has been named ECAC Division II Athlete of the Week after a record-breaking performance in the 800-meter run at Cornell's Deneault Invitational on Saturday.

Macon clocked a time of 2:17.8 (converted to 2:16.23) in the 800m to break Nicole Dann's school record of 2:18.6 set back in 2007. The senior finished second overall in the event and was just shy of an NCAA provisional time.

Macon enters the PSAC Indoor Championships with the second fastest time in the 800m and the fifth fastest time in the mile at 5:08.22. The PSAC Championships take place this Saturday and Sunday at Edinboro University.
