Sextet of Ospreys Compete at Florida Meet
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - North Florida outdoor track & field had six Ospreys run in four events over the past two days at Florida to come back with personal-best times at the Tom Jones Memorial on Saturday evening.
PIGG'S POINTS
"Celine [D'Anna} had a great race. She dropped her or and competed very well. Gavin {O'Brien} ran a very competitive 1500. He is finally back to great shape and the steeple will be exciting. Smilla [Kolbe] and Ella [Chandler] both had good performances. Smilla ran her 2nd fastest 800 and it was a very smart tactical race. Ella ran a lifetime best as she continues to drop her time. She closed strong to finish with a top 3 ASUN performance. Ryan [Douihech] ran a good 800 as he continues to develop his 800/1500 skills. He closed well in very tactical race." -- Head Coach Jeff Pigg
