INDIANA - Sophomore Trina Carito turned in a dominating performance to win the women's heptathlon and sophomore Paul Wagner broke the ESU and PSAC meet records in the men's hammer throw for the Warriors on Friday at the PSAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Freshman Lynn Mayer (high jump) and sophomore Kahla Doran (javelin) both finished second in their events, and sophomore Andrew McCloskey will enter Saturday's final as the top seed in the 200m dash to highlight ESU's efforts in the prelims.

Carito had one of the top 10 performances in Division II this season with 4,661 points and posted the top mark in each of the first three events, placed second in two others and never finished lower than fourth. She won by 362 points over Diane Kress from Clarion, the top seed entering the weekend.

She won the 100m hurdles with a time of 15.90 seconds, took the high jump with an NCAA provisional qualifying mark of 5-6 1/2 and had the top throw in the shot put with a distance of 31-10.

Wagner threw 179-5 in the hammer to earn his second conference title after winning the weight throw during the indoor season when he was named the men's field athlete of the meet.

He established new school, stadium and meet records one week after coming within six inches of the school record at the Penn Relays. Scott Weiser set the previous ESU record of 176-5 in 1996. Wagner was also fifth in the discus with a throw of 147-6, and sophomore Tom Sutor was seventh in the hammer.

Mayer cleared 5-8 to finish second in the high jump at her first outdoor PSAC championship.

Junior Katherine Doyle was third in the prelims in the 100m dash (12.38) and fifth in the 200m (25.73), and also ran the first leg of the 4x100m relay team that was second in the prelims in 48.38 seconds.
