Olson lands 15th place at NCAC Pentathlon

OBERLIN, Ohio — Sunday at Oberlin College, Kenyon College sophomore Sadie Olson competed in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Pentathlon, a precursor to the conference championship meet next weekend. Olson racked up 1,875 points and wound up in 15th place.

Olson’s best result in the five-event series came in the shot put. Her throw measured 24-10 (7.57 meters) and gave her a ninth-place finish. She added 11th-place finishes in the final two events, the long jump (14-3 ¾, 4.36m) and the 800-meter run (2:50.72).

In the first two events, Olson took 15th place in the 60-meter hurdles (11.97) and in the high jump (3-9 ¼, 1.15m).

Olson and the rest of the Kenyon team will return to action in the two-day NCAC Championship meet, which gets underway Friday at Oberlin.
