The Flyers are coming off a strong showing at the N.C. State Raleigh Relays as they look towards the second meet of the season. In North Carolina, Dayton had 14 personal bests and a new school record in the javelin thanks to freshman Lillian Cook's top performance in her first-ever collegiate meet.


Gettler Stadium is where all but the hammer and javelin will take place. Those two events are held at Coy Field, which is just off campus (directions: http://www.gobearcats.com/sports/c-track/spec-rel/coy-directions.html). There will be a shuttle that runs between the two facilities.
