Pacific Track Head Coach Josh Jones said of his team, "Today was great. The team rebounded from last week's event. The conditions weren't the greatest because it was windy, but the ladies ran tough."
Jones added, "Becky ran strong and really competed today. She set the school record and it looked like she had more in her. Mia ran her first 1500m of the year and looked very comfortable doing so. She also looked like she could have run more. I believe when the legs start feeling fresh we are going to have some great times."
