Cohen, Levra both make podium for Lakeland on final day of NACC Outdoor Championships

DE PERE, Wis. – Kolby Cohen (Sr.-Missouri City, Texas) and Lydia Levra (Fr.-Elk Mound, Wis.) both posted top-3 finishes in individual events to highlight Lakeland University's final day at the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships Saturday at St. Norbert College's Schneider Stadium.

Cohen came in second in the men's long jump while Levra placed third in the women's 400 meters. Both earned their way onto the podium to score points as the Muskies men's team tied for ninth in the team standings with 14 points, while Levra's finish gave Lakeland six points to place 11th on the women's side.

Cohen completed two excellent days in jumping events, following up a school outdoor record in finishing fifth in the triple jump on Friday. He was seeded seventh in the long jump entering the championships after getting healthy late in the season, but posted a best of 22 feet, 3 3/4 inches (6.80 meters) to place a strong second, only behind Benedictine University's Marcangele Hendrickson at 22-8 1/2.

Levra qualified third for the 400-meter finals after Friday's heat races, and on Saturday she finished in 59.24 seconds, her first time as a Muskie breaking the one-minute mark and a full second faster than her qualifying time on Friday. Levra finished just .09 behind second-place Madi Crossman of St. Norbert, and her time was the third-fastest in Lakeland's modern history, behind only Kayla Bruton running times of 58.36 and 59.17 at the 2022 NACC Outdoor Championships.

Emma Ziepke (Jr.-Manawa, Wis.) also placed 14th in the women's 1,500 meters with a time of 5:39.92, nearly 10 full seconds better than her previous season best. She followed up a top-20 finish in the 800 on Friday where she also ran a season best by six seconds.

Preston Dos Santos (Fr.-Random Lake, Wis.) came in 16th in the men's long jump with a best jump of 20-2 1/4 (6.15m). Dominick Enriquez (Fr.-El Paso, Texas) also notched a new personal best in the shot put with a throw of 24-4 1/4 (7.42m).
