•    Three Flyers broke school records, each surpassing their own marks: Erin Reese broke her own mark in the hammer throw with a facility-record throw of 63.43m. Jenni Rossi broke her own record in the shot put with a mark of 15.14m. Freshman Lillian Cook bested her own record in the javelin with a mark of 42.82m.

Director of Women's Track & Field and Cross Country Sarah Haveman's Quotes
•    " Today was a very special day for our throws group. What they are accomplishing is both exciting and impressive. We have a great history of throwers at Dayton, but they are rewriting it in a very special way.

"We had special moments throughout the day, but will have to better maximize what we currently have to give a good final push into the championships portion on the season."
