WOMEN'S TRACK AND FIELD

Returning sophomore sensation Amanda Yager won the Women's 400 Intermediate Hurdles with her second fastest time of the season at 63.81.

The team was also led by sophomore transfer Michaela Cosentino, who scored points in four events: 4x100 Meter Relay, High Jump, 100 Meter Hurdles, and the 4x400 Meter Relay.
