MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (Feb. 17) – In the first session of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships, the Vulcans set a school record and reached an automatic-qualifying mark for the NCAA National Championships in a time trial on Thursday night at Cumberland Valley High School.

The 200 medley relay of sophomore Kasey Travitz (Millersburg, Pa./Millersburg), junior Melissa Gates (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley), freshman Jess Machmer (Canton, Pa./Canton) and freshman Clarissa Enslin (Dalview, South Africa/St. Andrews School for Girls) posted a record time of 1 minute, 44.74 seconds in the time trial.
