On Saturday, she set a new school mark in the 3,000-meter race by placing first with a time of 10:15.97. Also on Saturday, Amanda Elias (Belmont, NY/Genesee Valley) scored points with a fifth-place finish in the 400-meter run with a time of 58.36 seconds, just missing out on a provisional qualifying time for the NCAA Championships by six-hundredths of a second.
The one-mile relay team of Randi DeBoy (Salamanca, NY/Salamanca), Christine Reamer (Ithaca, NY/Ithaca), O’Keeffe, and Elias set a new school record with a time of 4:02.56 en route to a seventh-place finish.
