John Covert Invitational Results

BETHLEHEM – Senior Matthew Gallup broke his own school record and finished second in the men's elite pole vault at the John Covert Invitational on Friday at Lehigh University.

Gallup cleared 16-0 3/4 to break his previous mark of 16-0 1/2 and provisionally qualified for the NCAA Division II indoor championships. Gallup has gone to nationals in during the outdoor season each of the last two years, and is a four-time PSAC champion in the event – twice indoors and twice outdoors. He also holds the outdoor record at 16-8 3/4 which he set as a sophomore.

Sophomore Anna Bixler competed in the women's pentathlon and was third with 2,618 points.

The Warriors will compete at the Bucknell Heptagonal on Saturday in Lewisburg, Pa.
