The St. John Fisher University women's track and field team is gearing up to participate in the Atlantic Region Indoor Championships at Nazareth University, following their impressive performance at the Empire 8's indoor meet where they secured a third-place finish in the team competition. Caitlin Voloshen emerged as a standout athlete, clinching a conference title in the mile run and securing second place in the 800 meters. She also played a crucial role in the distance medley and the 4x400 relay teams. Additionally, the team excelled in the distance medley race at the Empire 8 meet, with freshmen Grace Dolan, Allison List, and Maggie Bacon contributing to the victory alongside Voloshen.
