Anchored by sophomore Indy Reid-Shaw, the women's 4x800-meter relay won gold for the third straight year by hitting the tape in 9:16.52. The group also consisted of  senior Liz Tawa, sophomore Kate Hannah and junior Sarah Nielsen.
 
Senior Chastity Hopkins also had a strong individual performance, finishing third in the heptathlon with 3,657 points. She most notably recorded the second-best throw of 95-8 in the javelin throw, while her final mark ranks second in the program annals.
