Allie Cary has been named a Pioneer Athlete of the Week for the week of February 16th, 2026.
Cary blew away the competition in the shot put thanks to a chuck of 14.19m at the Fast Trax Invitational on Saturday. Her mark was good for #2 all-time in program history, only falling beneath former national-level performer Jane Fahy. The 14.19 was no match for the competition, as the new facility record toss was over 1.20 meters farther than the next closest throw.
Cary and the track team will head up north this weekend, competing at the St. Lawrence Open this Friday, February 20th. The meet is scheduled for a 4:00 PM start time. It will be the team's last chance to tune up before the Empire 8 Championships, which will be the following weekend at Nazareth.Â
