Melissa Lodge, Women's Track & Field

Lodge ran a school-record 16:34.36 in the 5,000m at the Ocean State Invitational Friday night, as the Bulldog senior posted an ECAC-qualifying time. The Massachusetts native bested her winning time from the March 31 Black & Gold Invitational by more than 29 seconds and took first in a distance event for the third-consecutive week, as she won the 1,500m at UMass a week ago. Lodge’s time in the 5,000m Friday places her 32^nd on the NCAA East qualifying list heading into the latter half of April.
