🕷️ ONE BIG THING

Writing History. The women’s track and field program started its year out with great success. At the Virginia Tech Invitational, multiple Spiders got themselves into the Richmond history books. Alicia Dawson had a 5.86m long jump, second longest in program history, and a 12.47m triple jump, tied for fourth in program history. Gabrielle Cummings had a 7.78 finish in the 60m, which placed her 10th fastest in program history. Caroline Donohoe now has the eighth fastest program time for the 500m run at 1:16.30. 🏃 See how other teammates performed here.
