YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Three Crimson Hawks hit qualifying marks in the opening meet of the season as the IUP indoor track & field teams returned to action at Youngstown State's YSU Icebreaker Friday afternoon. 

IUP's three marks were Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) qualfying standards, including Cahsia Page in the 200 meters, Hailey Dodson in the shot put, and Jayden Thomas in the high jump. 

Page posted a time of 25.98 in the 200m - just under the 26.00 threshold - finishing 13th overall, including third among Division II runners. Dodson had a toss of 12.78 meters in her first collegiate indoor meet, finishing sixth overall and first among DII throwers. Thomas cleared 1.90 meters, good for 10th.
