FINDLAY, OH - Following her personal best last week, Karyn Williams used a leap of 10.95m (35-11.25) in the triple jump to take 5th in the event and score all four of the Panther's points in the meet. 

"The women competed extremely hard this weekend," said head coach Sol Stephens. "Williams was started the year unranked in the conference and to finish 5th is an attribute to the hard work she puts in day in and day out. Despite just missing out on the finals, Jenna Burns and Karlee Hoffman ran really well. Abigail Lesniak ran a great mile and Sarah Vanderhoof ran a very solid 800. We've had numerous personal bests throughout this indoor season and the effort and improvements will continue to arrive. We're going to grind out over the next month to be ready to compete outdoors."

Jenna Burns ran a season's best 1:00.56 in the 400 to take 10th, while Karlee Hoffman ran an 18:50.75 to take 9th in the 5000. Hailey Miller jumped 1.53m (5-00.25) to take 11th in the high jump while Abigail Lesniak set a new personal best of 5:19.10 to take 14th in the mile.

Williams said that "I'm at a point in my athletic performance that I've never been at before so that's exciting. At the same time I'm still learning, so there's always room for improvement."

Burns stated "Although I didn't make the finals, we had a great meet full of learning moments, team support,and fun. I'm confident we will do some huge things outside this year!"

"Despite stopping a lap early and taking off again in the 5000, I'm happy with my performance," said Hoffman. "Walking off the track healthy knowing I gave my best effort is a blessing. That being said, I'm not satisfied and am encouraged to work even harder each day."
