Pigg's Points (Comments from Head Coach Jeff Pigg)
"Lydia and Audrey both had 1500m personal bests. It was good to see Audrey win her heat in a big personal best. She has worked hard for four years and intends on making the most of her senior year. Lydia had a nice opener running a very tactful race. She finished strong and there are more good 1500s coming soon. Grace Gumpel had a nice debut in the 3000 steeplechase. It is an interesting event and the first one can be intimidating, but she handled it very well. Kaley Patrosky picked up where she left off indoors with another solid day in the high jump. She is working hard with a focus on consistency and technique."
