QUOTING COACH MCCOWN
The ladies did a great job competing in very challenging weather conditions today. Congratulations to Tally, our 4 x 4(Anoush, Tally, Tess and Jordan) and our 4 x 8(Averi, Maggie, Sinead and Erica) on their performance today. I have been impressed and proud of this team all season, and today was no different. Go Dukes!

Senior Sidra Morris came out strong in the hammer throw. She broke her own school record and set a personal best mark on her first throw. She tossed it 54.12m (177'7") in the event.

Erica Jackson started off the weekend off with a bang taking a point in the 800m run. She finished eighth with a personal best mark of 2:08.76. The time is the third fastest in JMU history. Jackson comes away with an All-ECAC performance.
