Quotes and Notes
"Sammy Jones had a nice day finishing 3rd in the triple jump. She's had a great year. She took herself to a whole new level this year. She's been very exciting to watch.
Lydia ran a great race tonight to move to number 6 all-time. She's had a great last 3-4 weeks to close out her career. She's a person who cares a lot and has worked really hard through the ups and downs to fight for another great moment.
Grace closed out a great year and career with a nice PR and a number 5 all-time mark all time. She's improved so much this year and she has left her mark on the program."
