Full Centennial Conference Release

HAVERFORD, Pa. - Haverford women's track & field first-year sprinter Olivia D'Aulerio has been named the Centennial Conference Track Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced in a release on Tuesday morning. It is the first weekly honor for D'Aulerio. 

The two-sport standout from Chesterfield, N.J. set a new personal record in the 200 meters with a mark of 26.38 at Haverford's own Keogh Invitational to claim the event crown in front of the home crowd. The time bested her previous PR of 26.76 from Tufts on Feb. 4. That mark also ranks third in the Centennial this season.

D'Aulerio has made her way into the record books this winter after competing on the women's soccer team in the fall. She currently holds the Centennial Conference and Haverford program records for the 300 meters, a mark that was set on January 14, 2023 at the TCNJ Indoor Invitational, as the rookie clocked a 41.72 on the track at the NYC Armory to etch her name into the annals. 

In addition, D'Aulerio has entered the Haverford program top 10 in the 400 meters, where she sits in second on the all-time list with a 59.17 at the Fastrack National Invite at the Ocean Breeze Complex on Staten Island. She is also fifth in program history with her 60-meter time of 8.05 which was set at the Collegeville Classic. 

The aforementioned 200-meter mark is currently third in the Centennial Conference, while her 400-meter time ranks fourth and her 60-meter mark is currently seventh among conference competitors entering the Centennial Conference Championships at Franklin & Marshall this weekend.

D'Aulerio and the Fords will look to chase down a major medal haul in Lancaster, as the action begins on Saturday and continues through Sunday afternoon.The first women's sprint event is the women's 60-meter dash trials at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
