Head coach Kate Howard
"Day two of the Liberty League Championships proved to be just as exciting as day one for our squad. From start to finish we posted season and lifetime best performances which put us in the hunt for a very competitive team performance. Alli Sibold was phenomenal with the win in the 1,500-meters and a quick double back to take second in the highly competitive 800-meter final. Our four by four relay team posted a remarkable 10-second improvement on our previous best time this season and helped us secure our team standing. They really dug down in the final event of the championship and we are so proud of them for their outstanding effort."
