The Hawks had two members place in the top ten in the pole vault including Shirah Strock (Castleton, N.Y.) who came in second at a distance of 2.95m and Tessa Wise (Charlton, Mass.) who came in seventh at 2.65m. They both beat their personal records in this event as well.

Katerina Tsiounis (Bristol, R.I.) finished eighth in the triple jump at 9.79 meters and Savannah Fox Tree-McGrath (Billerica, Mass.) placed second in the Javelin Throw at 39.03 meters.

Kristen Norray (Berne, N.Y.) received her personal best in the Hammer Throw at 29.64m as well.

Coach Sean Livingston said, "We were excited to see so many athletes improve today as compared to our first meet last week. Our top two pv'ers are jumping very well. They have been working hard at each practice and the results bear that out. Mitchell continues to impress, dating back to the cross country season in the fall and including her first two track meets this spring. She has now beat her personal record in seven consecutive races. I have never had any athlete, male or female, accomplish that. We're looking to get some key people healthy in the coming weeks and being to put it altogether during the month of April."

The Hawks look to compete in the American International College Invitational at 9:00 a.m. on April 6^th.
