ITHACA, N.Y. – Junior Emilia Scheemaker shattered her own triple jump record to lead the Ithaca College women's track & field team in competition Saturday at Cornell's Upstate Challenge. The Bombers faced six Division I and one additional Division III school at the meet.

Junior Kristina Stockburger finished seventh and senior Elaine Abdulky 10th in the weight with heaves of 13.64 and 13.04 meters, respectively.
