The women's Track & Field team put together several strong individual performances as they are stringing together an overall impressive inaugural season as a team.
On the track, freshman Joanna Topham continued to impress in the long distance races. This meet it was the 5000 meter run that Topham took part in, as she finished in a time of 19:30.24 to take home 3rd in the event.
Jurane Lizer also had an excellent day on the track as she competed hard in all 3 of her events. In the 200 Meter dash, Lizer first took home an 8th place finish after posting a time of 27.43.
