SPOKANE, Wash. – Eight different Warrior women collected personal bests and
Sydnie Zywina bettered her NAIA mark in the triple jump on Friday at Whitworth's Jeff Rahn Classic.
"Another good day for Warrior Track and Field," coach
Mike Collins said. "We didn't have any new national qualifiers, but we definitely had a lot of season bests and personal bests. Making progress is a huge thing when it comes to week-by-week analysis of what we are trying to do. I'm really encouraged right now with where we are at as a lot of the athletes moved up in the NAIA national rankings."
