Dayton is coming off a successful All-Ohio Championships in which two Flyers broke school records: Jenni Rossi broke UD's all-time record in the shot put, her mark of 15.03m breaking the record by Jodi Borges that has stood since 2000. It marked the fourth broken record this season for the Flyer throwers, all in different events: Erin Reese broke UD's all-time record in the hammer throw at the All-Ohio Championships, previously held by two-time All-American Mallory Barnes. Reese's mark of 60.05 is the best in the Atlantic 10 this season. Reese also holds the Dayton record in the discus set at the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational; and Lillian Cook broke the javelin record at the Raleigh Relays.

Rossi (April 18), Reese (April 4) and Leah Frischmann - pole vault (April 11) have been named A-10 Performers of the Week this outdoor season and Cook (March 28) was named A-10 Rookie of the Week.
