Grantham, Pa. (Apr. 13, 2019) - Alvernia University competed at the Messiah College Multis Thursday through Saturday.
Adam Loehr finished third among the collegiate competitors in the decathlon and
Trevor Keefer finished sixth. Both athletes were competing in their first decathlons.
Susanna Pirollo continued a strong sophomore campaign with a second place finish in the heptathlon.

Julian Braddock won the Long Jump with a school record jump of 6.86m, beating Sean Fahey (Mt. St. Mary's) by a centimeter.
Hunter Guenzel finishes at 2nd among collegiate competitors in the javelin throw with a throw of 51.86m.
Tyler Barrett places 6th in the 1500m with a school record time of 4:06.32.
Maddie Truax places 8th in the 100m hurdles with a PR and MAC qualifier.
Jason Scott places 10th in the Hammer Throw with a PR of 40.93m, less than a meter off the school record
"Adam showed that with continued time honing his skills in the events of the decathlon he can be a force in the conference and beyond," said Alvernia head coach
Tim Hartung.
"Trevor was a late addition to our multi squad and comes out with the determination to be successful," said Hartung. "While some of the unfamiliar events didn't go as he planned, the effort was unmistakable. Additional practice and dedication to the discipline can yield great results for Trevor."
Pirollo, the Indoor MAC Pentathlon Champion, finished solidly in second place nearly 1,000 points ahead of third place and as much behind Messiah's Taylor Wiederrecht.
"Susanna continues to be a force within the MAC," said Hartung. "The recent success in her weaker events in the heptathlon are causing her sights to be set even higher as we move forward."
