"Dom capped off a dominant career as a Raider finishing at the same regional ranking she came in with, and she's a school-record holder in three separate events. There's no better way to close a senior season than being able to compete on one of the greatest stages in track and field. She has made her teammates, coaches, and Raider fans extremely proud. I'm excited to follow her journey as she transitions into the next chapter of her career. This year was truly special for our program."
