The current version of our women's roster is probably the most close and supportive group that I can remember in my time as a head coach here.

Nyadio is coming off a stellar indoor season which saw her podium in the 800m and as a member of the 4x400m relay at the conference championships.

We look for Nyadio to continue with that momentum as we head into the outdoor season.

Bailey made some huge strides and ran some great performances during the indoor season, including a win in the 600 at the conference championship. Her confidence and racing acumen are great attributes to see in a freshman as well.

Hayleigh has been a do everything athlete for us on and off the track. She battled through injury to get to the point where she could even compete in the pentathlon during the indoor season. Being healthy this spring could lead to some big PRs in her future.
