2/6/2025 11:14:00 AM | Track and Field
BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo track and field program is sending select student-athletes to Ashland University this Friday and Saturday to compete in the women's pentathlon and men's heptathlon at the Fourth Jud Logan Light Giver Open. The Bulls combined events athletes look to gain valuable competition experience just three weeks away from the Mid-American Conference Indoor Championships.
The Fourth Jud Logan Light Giver Open begins on Friday at 10 am with the women's pentathlon. The competing athletes will complete all five events on Friday. Adriana Ellsworth and Isa van Puffelen are scheduled to participate for the Bulls.
Ellsworth posted a personal record score of 2,927 in the pentathlon in her freshman campaign at the Kent State Invitational. Now a sophomore, Ellsworth set a new personal record in the high jump of 1.70 meters, tied for ninth all-time in UB indoor history, and has the third-ranked 60-meter hurdles time (9.65) on the Buffalo roster.
Van Puffelen is set to make her collegiate debut in the pentathlon. The freshman holds the second fastest 60-meter hurdles time (9.27) on the women's roster this season, also posting a 1.60-meter high jump personal record and mark of 5.21 meters in the long jump.
The events for the women's pentathlon are listed below. Times may vary based on the pace of competition across all events at Ashland.
Friday
The men's heptathlon will begin at 11 am on Friday and then resume at 9 am on Saturday. Kevin Gabalski and Brady Hughes are slated to compete for the Bulls.
Gabalski enters the weekend of competition with experience and success in combined events, taking silver in the men's pentathlon at MAC Indoor Championships last year. The senior posted a personal record score in the event of 5,033, ranking fifth all-time in UB indoor history. Gabalski has had a strong start to his senior season, setting a new personal record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.10, ranking eighth all-time in UB indoor history.
Hughes also competed at the indoor conference championships last year, placing tenth with a score of 4,068. The freshman improved to place fourth at MAC Outdoor Championships, with a score of 5,912 in the men's decathlon. Now a sophomore, Hughes looks to bring that experience into the final stages of the indoor season.
The events for the men's heptathlon are listed below. Times may vary based on the pace of competition across all events at Ashland.
