Quotes and Notes
"We had a really nice day with both teams getting the win. It is important for us as a program to win meets and this is a big step toward us continuing to build a championship program."
"Mariah Stephens had a big day picking up where she left off during the indoor season. She won the hurdles and finished second in the triple jump. Both were PRs and the triple jump was an ECAC qualifier. She also added a PR in the 100. She is a great competitor." 
 
"Teagan Schein-Becker also had a big day winning the 800 meters and narrowly missing the Rider record. She is competing on such a high level right now. She is so exciting to watch every week."  
 
"We also got three wins in the throws with Galsco winning the shot, Kamar winning the hammer, and Ramsey winning the javelin. The throws are a big part of our program and we need them to continue their winning ways." -Rider Head Coach Bob Hamer
