California, PA – Freshman Jessica Kelosky (Fombell, PA / Riverside) broke the school record in the 100 meter dash at California of Pennsylvania University’s Early Bird meet on Saturday. Kelosky’s 13th place finish set Geneva’s outdoor 100 meter record to 12.74 seconds.
“We had a great meet at Cal U,” said Head Coach Phil Thompson. “We have had a few hard weeks at practice but that didn't stop anyone from having a successful meet. I am very pleased with the way everyone is responding to the training and we will have a great outdoor season."
