Women’s triple jump is heating up. We can confirm Michelle Algiers a now #5 in school history. There are 2 other entries to the list so far. But they are all still jumping. https://t.co/zTZxEq6GAH
What a day for mens group & @zjnewsom - tied for 2nd best BW XC finish in program history and 1st time we’ve been 3rd or higher since 2014. Shoutout to Aiden Davis’s 8th place all-conference finish. For the women - Collette Lowengrub secured her 1st all-conf @ 10th place
7️⃣ days away from our compliance meeting for the XC group. Which means only 8️⃣ until our 1st practice. We know @zjnewsom & @NBtruthteller can’t wait. Are you ready athletes?
