Butera Scores Twice on Final Day at PSAC Outdoors

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. --- Abigail Butera made the podium in both of her races on Saturday afternoon, highlighting the Golden Eagles track & field team's third and final day at the 2026 PSAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
 
Butera scored in both events she qualified for this year, taking sixth place in the 1500m and seventh in the 5000m. In her first event of the day, the 1500m, Butera soared to a new PR, cutting more than two seconds off her previous best to finish in a time of 4:44.88. With that time, she moved into possession of third place on the program's all-time performance list in the event, just .02 faster than Molly Smathers' time of 4:44.9 set in 2008.
 
Later in the afternoon, Butera rallied for a seventh place finish in the 5000m, crossing the line in a time of 17:25.22. She made a big move on her final lap, passing Kutztown's Maura Lenhart to solidify her spot on the podium.
 
Also competing on Saturday was Emily Foster, who took part in the High Jump. Foster cleared the bar at a height of 1.57m, putting her in 14th place.
 
Clarion finished the team meet with five points, good for 13th place.
