Junior Skyler Danley (Easton, Pa./Easton Area HS) represented the Waves in the 3,000 meters in a time of 11:12.97. Danely currently holds the school record in the 3,000 meter in a time of ​​10:39.88.

"Today was a great day for the Waves," said head coach Lauren Floris. "All of our ladies raced well and improved on their performances from BYU a few weeks ago. Kaley's win in the 60m was really exciting and Olivia ran a smart and competitive race to win her heat of the mile. Overall a very successful trip to Portland!"
