Lucy Moran earned First Team All-SCC honors in the 800 meters with a time of 2:18.76. Moran also earned a spot on the All-SCC Second Team in the 1600, when she placed second with a time of 4:57.80.

“Lucy Moran and Joelle Budz had outstanding meets; Lucy really battled in the 1600 (four girls finished under five minutes) and came back strong to win the 800,” said Head Coach Kevin Connell. “Joelle really came out blazing in the 300 hurdles. She couldn't have run a more perfect race, which resulted in a school record. Zayna Cella is a freshman, and she gave us points we didn't anticipate earlier in the season. She has burst onto the scene and filled the void we have had the past few seasons. She still has a lot to learn and is eager to become a better thrower. This was a great team effort today. We got contributions from all areas. I remain very proud of the work and accomplishments of this group.”
