ITHACA, N.Y. (2/28/16) - Senior Cecilia Barowski won the 500-meter dash with a meet record as the Princeton women's track & field team took fourth at the 2016 Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal Track & Field Championships at Barton Hall on the Cornell campus this afternoon.

She went on to grab another two points in the 1,000 with her time of 2:50.47.
