WEST POINT, N.Y. – Loyola University Maryland senior Senna Ohlsson set a meet record Saturday, winning her fourth career conference title to lead the Greyhounds to a seventh-place finish at the 2021 Patriot League Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
 
Ohlsson ran 2:06.88 to win the 800 meters and add to her championship collection that now includes two indoor (2019, 2020) and two outdoor (2019, 2021) gold medals. Her time bettered the meet record of 2:07.35 set in 2011 by Army West Point's Jess Palacio, and it was just three-tenths of a second off her school record set during the summer of 2020 at the Swedish National Championships.
 
She outdueled the Black Knights' Ana Tovkach who was second in 2:08.36, more than five seconds ahead of the third-place finisher, Navy's Bronte Bacchetta.
 
Six other Greyhounds scored on the day, contributing to the team's 33 points. The seventh-place finish ties Loyola's best at the championships.
 
The Greyhounds' 4x400-meter relay team of Rachel Koller, Ohlsson, Courtney Stephanie Tracy and Courtney Kenny were third in 3:47.04.
 
Koller took fifth in the 100 meters (12.31), the second-best time in school history behind only the 12.25 she ran in Friday's preliminaries. Her fifth-place finish marks the best a Loyola sprinter has finished in a race under 400 meters at the Patriot League Championships since the Greyhounds joined the conference in 2013-14.
 
Kenny and Tracy were seventh and eighth, respectively, in the 400 meters, covering the race in 57.98 and 58.10 seconds.
 
Later in the day, Koller and Kenny were seventh and eighth in the 200 meters, finishing less than four-tenths of a second apart in 25.60 and 25.96, respectively.
 
Kathleen Shepherd was eighth in the 100-meter hurdles, running 15.15, and Eve Schoenberg also turned in an eighth-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles (67.99).
 
Samantha Spargo ran in the final of the 3,000-meter steeplechase and was 12^th in her first Patriot League Championships race, finishing in 12:03.03. Abby Potticary (18:19.07) and Kate Ragone (18:31.19) were 35^th and 39^th in the final of the 5,000 meters.
