CATCHING UP WITH COACH RILEY:
"It was a productive trip to Seattle this weekend highlighted by improved marks from our opener and personal bests by Hannah, Grace, Kaylee and Ruby. Starting the weekend with the Distance Medley Relay and just missing the school record, to today with Ruby breaking her school record in the 3,000 meter run that also puts her 12th overall in the NCAA were quite the bookends for the trip."
