PIGG'S POINTS
"Louisa has done a great job this year. She is driven for success, works very hard and is a great teammate. She has been very consistent and it was so great to see her cap of the season with an ASUN Championship. The conference has had a lot of good vaulters, so that record is something she can really be proud of."

"Lydia ran her fastest 3000m by 25 seconds. It was a very competitive field and she hung tough the whole race. She finished strong with a fantastic time."
