SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Following the conclusion of a strong outdoor track and field regular season, the USF Dons outdoor track and field team were proud to send three representatives to compete at this weekend's NCAA West First Round meet hosted by Sacramento State.

Smee then returned to action on Saturday night as she competed in the 5,000 meters and Baneet Bains represented the Dons in the 3,000 meter steeplechase.
RESULTS:

40. Baneet Bains 10:36.1

CATCHING UP WITH COACH RILEY:
"A tough couple of days of racing this week in Sacramento but proud of our squad and how they conducted themselves. Hannah's experience here early in her collegiate career will definitely help her down the road. Both Ruby and Baneet improved from their performances at last year's first round but fell short of making the trip to Austin. I'm definitely going to miss their leadership and grip, and I want to thank them for everything they have done for this program."
