After one Richwine prevented the Muhlenberg track and field teams from winning two events, another one brought home gold.
 
Mule sophomore Maya Richwine won the 200 meters at the Centennial Conference Track and Field Championships, breaking her own school record with a time of 25.61 to earn her first career gold medal.
 
Richwine, who set a meet and school record by posting the fastest qualifying time in the 60-meter hurdles on the first day of the meet, took silver in that event and capped her outstanding weekend by anchoring the 4x400-meter relay team that came in fourth with the third-fastest time in program history.
 
The Mule women tied for seventh place with 40 points, the most they scored at the CC indoor meet since 2020.
 
The men came in fifth, and although they didn't win any gold medals, they came away with four silvers, including three on the second day of the meet.
 
Sophomore Christopher Short won two of the silvers, coming in second in both the 200 and 400. He broke a 14-year-old school record in the 200, running 22.17 to eclipse the former mark of 22.40. Short, who also anchored two bronze-medal-winning relay teams, set a personal best in the 400, coming in second by 11 hundredths of a second to Dickinson's Trevor Richwine.
 
It was also Trevor Richwine (no relation to Maya) who kept sophomore David Seel from winning gold in the 800, with only seven tenths of a second separating the two runners.
 
Sophomore Sultan Almosbeh ran on three relay teams that finished in the top four, earning two bronze medals.
 
Although they didn't place, senior Paola Navarro and freshman Kelly Stephen both had huge personal bests. Navarro scored 1891 points in the pentathlon, improving her previous best of 1621 by 270 points. Stephen recorded a mark of 35-6¾ in the shot put, more than a foot further than her former PR of 34-3¼, to land in seventh place on the Mules' all-time performance list.
