"I feel my times are heading in the right direction," said returning sophomore All-American Rae-Jaun Gayle, who took part in three qualifying performances. "There's still plenty to work on, but so far so good."
Freshman Kayla Ayars, who enjoyed a solid cross country season, is off to a solid start in the spring track season with a national qualifying outing in the 4 x 400 meters relay.
"I'm closing in on some of my best PR times, but it's quite an adjustment running on the college level compared to high school," said Kayla, a Woodstown graduate. "I'll need to continue working hard, and I'm confident I'll be where I need to be by the time we get to the postseason."
