First year Camille Coklow represented the Lyons at the 2013 New England Open Championships, a multi-divisional meet which took place at Stonehill College. She posted a preliminary time of 12.27 in the 100-meter dash, which was the fastest preliminary time she has achieved during the outdoor season in her event. The mark was not enough to move her into the event finals.
Coklow will continue her season next weekend at the 2013 ECAC Championships, hosted by Springfield College.
Mount Holyoke (13-4; 4-2 NEWMAC) claimed its first-ever ECAC New England Championship title on Sunday in a 17-16 victory over Western New England.
