She came straight from basketball and jumped right into track, immediately putting in the work. I love her competitiveness and eagerness to improve.”

Middle-distance runners Katerina Moseley and Graci Nelson performed well in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meters.

“I love their competitiveness and the way this group continues to grow together as a team,” Gonzalez said.

“It’s been fun watching this group develop,” Gonzalez said.
