NEW YORK CITY — University of Southern Maine sophomore Ashley Belanger, who is from Biddeford, and junior Sabrina Sodders each earned All-ECAC honors in the shot put on Friday during the first day of competition at the 2015 Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships being held at The Armory in New York City.

Belanger finished fifth in the shot put for the second straight year with her mark of 12.96 meters. Sodders claimed the eighth position with a throw of 12.50 meters.

The Huskies’ 4×200-meter relay quartet of junior Nicole Kirk (Scarborough), sophomores Liz O’Neal and Deonna DaSilva and senior Peyton Dostie (Standish) posted a fifth-place finish with its combined time of 1:44.28.

Earlier in the afternoon, Dostie broke the school record in the 60-meter hurdles with her time of 8.90 seconds to win her trials race. Dostie, who had the second quickest time overall in the trials, will move on to Saturday’s final.
