PHILADELPHIA – Western Michigan sophomore Allison Hufnagel had a personal-best performance to kick off the 123rd Penn Relays, taking third in the heptathlon on Wednesday.
Hufnagel battled her competitors and poor weather over the past few days, finishing in third place with a combined 4,384 points. While Hufnagel did not turn in a personal-best individual performance in any of the events, she performed well in all seven. Battling rain on Tuesday, she took the high jump after reaching the height of 5' 3.25".
"She was really solid despite the bad weather," said head coach Kelly Lycan.
