PIGG'S POINTS

"Ella [Chandler] was on the 2:13.06 side and she ran 2:09. The 2:10 barrier is big, and it's a nice barrier to break. It's a collegiate goal for a lot of people. I was really proud of her. She raced very well, she competed well, and did a great job, so that was really exciting to see. It was a great track meet for us and we're looking forward to running at home next week."
