STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (Dec. 13, 2024) – On Friday, the USMMA women's track & field team competed at the Seahawk Shootout hosted by Wagner College at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex. Senior Katherine Kerchner (Reading, Pa.) had a pair of top-20 finishes to lead the Mariners, including an improvement in her mile time.
