"The women had six PRs today with two being seniors Berardi and Larson. We started the day off right then competed well throughout the rest of the day."
"We also had a huge PR from our freshman Maya in the hammer to show we have strength in our youth too."
"We are getting better and better every day and it should be a fun rest of the season. Things are really coming together."
