Fredonia senior Sarah Couperus (Marion/Marion) moved up to No. 3 on the school outdoor Top 10 high jump list at the Bucknell Outdoor Classic over the weekend. She cleared 1.66 meters (5 feet, 5 1/4 inches) and finished ninth in the event. Ginger Kincaid's 5 feet, 8 inches in 2001 tops the list, followed by Jackie Majka's 5 feet, 5 3/4 inches in 2008.
The Blue Devils also sent a split squad to the Westminster (Pa.) Invitational. They earned two points via a seventh-place finish by freshman Sarah Kurbs (Lockport/Lockport) in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Her 12:34.52 was also a personal-best for Kurbs.
