LEWISBURG, Pa. – Mackenzie Carver won the 800m against a field comprised of numerous Division I athletes, highlighting the Golden Eagle track & field team’s second day at the Bison Open and Multi hosted by Bucknell.
Competing against athletes across the spectrum of divisions in the NCAA, Carver stood out above the rest in the 800m. The senior mid-distance runner paced the field with a time of 2:18.33, a little more than a quarter-second faster than second-place Hailey Tabar of Bucknell, and was more than four seconds faster than the next-closest non-Division I competitor.

The junior raced her way to a ninth-place finish in the event with a time of 10:59.43. Five of the eight finishers ahead of her hailed from Division I programs. Freshman Cheyenne Mehl competed in the Mile, finishing 16th with a time of 5:43.88.
