PIGG'S POINTS

"Emma Jane [Schlageter] ran a personal-best and competed very well in a hit 1500m race. Erica [Fisher] ran a very competitive race moving through the pack to finish second place. She continues to get better, as she is stacking healthy weeks of training together. Isa [Leen] also ran a good 5000m. She led by six seconds and I know they both will keep improving."
