On April 3rd, the whole gators squad trekked down to Washington, PA to compete at Washington and Jefferson. On the women's side, the meet yielded few suprises as it is still early in the year. Lauren Butler finished first, second, and third in the javelin (129-10), shot put (40-03.25), and hammer (122-00) throws, respectively. Teammate Kristen Collins finished 6th in the discus (105-08), 7th in the shot put (33-02.00), and 4th in the hammer (114-09). Also on the field half of track and field, Freshman Holly Wilson hopped her way to 4th place in the triple jump with a jump of 33-05.25. On the track, Beth Muller and Rebecca Lendyak placed 3rd and 4th in the 400 meter dash with times of 59.22 and 1:00.26, respectively. They also went 3-4 in the 200 meter dash as well. The women's 4x100 meter relay placed second overall with a time of 51.92. In the distance events, Katie Stancik and Sara Matrano finished in 2nd and 3rd with times of 4:58.13 and 4:59.47, respectively. Freshman Kelly Gallagher won her first collegiate race in the 5000 meter run, winning by over a minute, in 19:01.36.

Jakeb Zimmerman placed 2nd in the 10,000 meter and Garrett Gleeson was 4th, despite the extreme heat. Matthew Brush finshed 2nd to All-American Dee Salukombo from Denison in the 3000 meter steeplechase. Benjamin Richard Eyer won the 1500 meter sprint with a time of 4:02.82. Taylor "catch me if you can" Throckmorton finished 2nd place overall in the 400 meter dash with a time of 50.83. Andrew Mahone continued to build on his 800 speed and raced his way to 3rd with a time of 1:56.12.
