Celen, a junior from Townsend, Del., is currently the fastest woman in NCAA Division III indoor track after her performance at the Patriot Games this weekend.

Celen also competed in the long jump, winning the event with a leap of 5.73 meters (18' 9.75"), which is second-only to her own ODAC record and season-best mark.
