"The UW Oshkosh meet was a great last meet tune-up for the CCIW Championships in a week. We had an amazing day for the throwing crew with five lifetime PR's in the shot put and four lifetime PR's in the weight throw. Alexis Mattox won the weight throw with a lifetime PR of 17.41 meters. This mark is sixth on our top-10 all-time list, and ranks her ninth on the current NCAA list. Hannah Lizano was third in the weight throw with a lifetime PR of 17.14 meters. This mark is 10th on our top-10 all-time list and ranks her 11th on the current NCAA list."

"Abbey Calhoun also gained a spot on the top-10 all-time list in the triple jump, moving into the eighth spot with a jump of 10.82 meters. She is also ranked 5th on the CCIW honor roll. Grace Robinson had another stellar win in the 400 with a lifetime PR of 1:00.82. She currently sits 5th on the CCIW honor roll."
